How to Get Lower Abs Tight and Lean

Dean Tressador asked:




So you want to know how to get lower abs tight and lean. It is not impossible nor hard nor time consuming to achieve this. How you say? With just three exercise techniques, you too can get lower abs tight and lean.

Let’s look at how and why our stomach muscles loosen and become flabby. Muscles maintain their tightness with exercise. When we do not exercise, the muscles atrophy (reduce) with time. People tend to confuse the fact that if we exercise, we wear our body out. Nothing is further from the truth.

Keeping our body strong and healthy requires exercise, as exercise rejuvenates the muscles. People do not get abs tight and lean while sitting watching television, they get abs tight and lean by exercising. Unfortunately, people do not like to exercise, as they conceive it to be boring and hard. Which in a way is fortunate for you because if you do the work, your abs are so much more special. If everyone could easily do it, there would be nothing special about a tight lean set of abs, in fact I would wager that a flabby belly would be the desired fashion!

But this also is not the case abs are not hard to develop. Three simple exercise techniques can give you great looking and healthy lower abs. Let’s now go through the steps and very shortly you will know how to get lower abs tight and lean.

First think of the exercise as a health benefit, not a way to look better, although you will look better. Studies tell us that people who look at exercise as a health benefit, rather than a look good benefit, kept up the routine longer and stayed fit past two years.

Second, drink water, as water nourishes the muscles and refreshes the muscles as you reshape them.

Third, repetition is the key to fitness and long term results. So here we go.

Lie down on your back and bend your knees toward you. Place your hands behind your neck but do not apply pressure. Inhale and exhale. Inhale again, but this time when you exhale, lift your head up toward the ceiling until you feel a pull in your abs. Hold for a few seconds and then release. Breathe in and out. When breathing out, lift your head again toward the ceiling but this time instead of lifting straight up, lift to the right.

Hold again for a few seconds. Release. Breathe in and out. This time when breathing out lift up and to the left. Hold for a few seconds and release. Repeat these steps 12 times. Do 3 sets of these exercise techniques repetitiously every day until you have the desired result, then perform them 2 to 3 times a week to maintain.

Start today because now you know how to get abs tight and lean.

How To Lose Belly Fat and Get a Flat Stomach

Tiffany Brunskole asked:


What person doesn’t yearn to lose their belly flat and get a flat stomach? The thing about accomplishing this goal is that it does take hard work and you can’t get a flat stomach from sitting on the couch  watching television and eating potato chips. Don’t get discouraged though, as just making some small healthy changes into your lifestyle, can help you to see some big results in the flat stomach department. Here is how you can lose the belly fat and get your flat stomach of your dreams.

The number one thing that you have to know is that a flat stomach is not accomplished with exercise alone. You need to have a healthy diet in order to lose the belly flat. The reason why most people never see a flat stomach is because they have a layer of fat that has built up over their abdominal muscles. This fat can only be burned off through a healthy diet and exercise. Keeping your body fat low by watching what you eat can greatly increase the chances that you will have that flat stomach that you desire. Try to stay away from processed food and sugars that signal the body to hold onto the body fat that you already have.

Along with the healthy and balanced diet, comes exercise. Some people are just naturally blessed with a lower percentage of body fat, while 98% of the population has to exercise to get a lower body fat percentage. In order to burn body fat you have to do cardiovascular exercise that raises the heart rate and gets your body into calorie burning mode. As mentioned before, if you have a layer of fat over your stomach muscles, you are never going to see the flat and toned stomach that you may have underneath.

If you really want to speed up the process of getting a flat stomach and losing belly fat, then look for workouts like Hip Hop Abs and circuit training that strengthen and tone your muscles while giving you a cardiovascular workout. These types of workouts are able to focus on the abs to get the tight muscles and also get your body into fat burning mode.

If you don’t want to to circuit training or a workout program like Hip Hop Abs, then you can do your cardiovascular workouts and your strength training workouts separately. This will take more time from your schedule, but some people may find this works better for them.

The key to losing belly fat and gaining a flat stomach is not a magical formula. It is actually very simple: regular exercise and a healthy diet.
