How To Flatten Stomach At Home

Many people want to know how to flatten their stomach at home, so I thought I’d quickly write an article providing you with some abs exercises and advice on how to get a flat stomach. The first thing I want you to know is that there is quite a lot that goes into flattening your stomach (I know from personal experience) it’s not something that can be summed up in a single article…

So that being said, this post is designed to give you some good abdominal exercises to help you get a flat belly – BUT – this is not all you will need to do. You will of course need to design a diet, do cardio and get hold of a full abs workout routine. For more on this you need to take a look at this page about how to flatten stomach fast.

Exercise Ball Crunch

1. Lie on an exercise ball with your lower back curvature
   pressed against the spherical surface of the ball. Your feet should be
   bent at the knee and pressed firmly against the floor. The upper torso
   should be hanging off the top of the ball. The arms should either be
   kept alongside the body or crossed on top of your chest as these
   positions avoid neck strains (as opposed to the hands behind the back
   of the head position).
2. Lower your torso into a stretch position keeping the neck stationary at all times. This will be your starting position.
3. With the hips stationary, flex the waist by contracting the abdominals
   and curl the shoulders and trunk upward until you feel a nice
   contraction on your abdominals. The arms should simply slide up the
   side of your legs if you have them at the side or just stay on top of
   your chest if you have them crossed. The lower back should always stay
   in contact with the ball. Exhale as you perform this movement and hold
   the contraction for a second.
4. As you inhale, go back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Caution: Perform this exercise slowly and
deliberately as it takes some getting used to. Also, do not be hasty
and try to use weights on the first time; you’ll have enough on your
hands learning how to balance yourself. Also, if balance is an issue I
recommend having a spotter next to you and also placing each of your
feet under a 100-lb dumbbell for added stability. As you get more
advanced you can hold a dumbbell or a weight plate (held at arms
length) on top of your chest. However, you have to be very careful when
adding weight to this exercise, because if you add too much too quickly
you could get a hernia.

Variations: You can perform this exercise with a
low pulley behind you with a rope attached on its end. In this manner
you can go ahead and add resistance easier. For this variation, you
will need to hold on to the sides of the rope throughout the movement.
I like to bring my arms forward to the point that the upper arms are
almost parallel to my torso and the lower arms are facing back holding
the rope.

Exercise Ball Pull-In

1. Place an exercise ball nearby and lay on the floor in front of it
   with your hands on the floor shoulder width apart in a push-up position.
2. Now place your lower shins on top of an exercise ball. Tip:
   At this point your legs should be fully extended with the shins on top
   of the ball and the upper body should be in a push-up type of position
   being supported by your two extended arms in front of you. This will be
   your starting position.
3. While keeping your back completely straight and the upper body
   stationary, pull your knees in towards your chest as you exhale,
   allowing the ball to roll forward under your ankles. Squeeze your abs
   and hold that position for a second.
4. Now slowly straighten your legs, rolling the ball back to the starting position as you inhale.
5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

As you can see, using an exercise ball can be an effective way to train your abdominal muscles. But there are many other great abs exercises that also do a good job of building abdominal muscle. That being said you should do your best to include a wide range of the best abs exercises into your workout routine because what this will do is work your stomach in lot’s of different ways which will result in you getting perfect abs.

If you really want to get ahead and lose belly fat faster than most people even think is possible, then I really recommend you take a look at exactly how to flatten your stomach fast.
