Flatten Your Stomach NOW!
Jennifer Jolan asked:
Here’s how to flatten your stomach immediately. And PLEASE… if you’re wasting your time doing crunches, sit-ups, and jogging… PLEASE just read this. There’s a better way and it’s outlined below.
Flatten your Stomach
1. If you had a choice of only 1 exercise to do, do the vacuum pose
This flattens your belly fast… to the point of 2-3 inches in a month. All it requires is that you do it everyday for a minimum of 5 minutes each day. If you truly have the desire to reduce your waist size and get a flat tummy, then this is something that you need to add into whatever exercise routine you’re currently doing.
The specifics… suck in your lower belly by taking a big breath… inhaling from your belly (not your chest). Once you can’t inhale anymore, hold the “sucked in” position for as long as you can. 15 seconds is sufficient for most people.
Let out a big exhale and repeat the process all over again until you’ve completed at least 5 minutes of this. The reason why this is a better belly flattener than something like crunches is because you are using isometric tension instead of concentric tension. This helps “pull in” the abdominal wall while giving you a better posture.
Do these while you watch tv… especially the commercials.

How to Get Quick Abs
Ashley Gray asked:
When it comes down to it, knowing how to get quick abs is just about the exercises and the diet. You don’t need to select the power-building exercises such as squats, deadlifts, power press, bent over rowing, etc. to get abs quickly. What makes these exercises so important and effective is that they are using both really heavy weights and the biggest muscles in the body such as your thigh muscles and the glutes both of which respond rapidly to heavy exercise. But they also use a number of other muscles such as back, shoulders, arms, stomach, lats all of which are responding simultaneously to the heavy weights. Then you put all of them under as much stress as they can bear and keep repeating this procedure using progressively heavier weights. You are therefore stepping up the intensity of your exercise and exercise program of progressive overload. These increasingly heavy weights combined with the intensity cause the muscle to react and grow bigger and stronger in order to cope with the stress which they have been put under.
If you’ve ever done tons of crunches and now gotten abs quick, you may be performing them wrong. I’ve watched people doing their ‘sit-ups’ or crunches in a way that simply cannot be of optimal value. Their heads are bopping up and down like jack-rabbits and the blood is rushing to their temples! And the ‘form’ has unfortunately ‘gone out of the window’!
Finally, don’t cut corners on the diet! Typically people that started dieting too late will try to compensate by overdoing cardio to catch up to where they think they should be, because they don’t know how to get the results they want. Now this leads to two problems. The first being that your workouts are now going to suffer more because you are so focused on doing cardio to get quick abs.
Second, you won’t give your legs enough time to recover, which makes your next cardio session less productive. Plus if you are doing intervals (which you should be) you really can’t do more than 3-4 interval sessions per week effectively.
