    Let’s face it people want to get flat abs for several reasons. From looking good at the pool BBQ to simply wanting to look fit and trim or shedding a few notches on your belt, this article guides you through core workouts to get flat abs and lose stubborn belly fat.

    Disclaimer

    Please consult your physician before starting any exercise or healthy nutrition plan.

    Remember that these are for healthy individuals who can exercise. If you have any injuries or issues exercising, you may want to stick to something less stressful. There are many paths on the road to weight loss, but we recommend you take the safest path to prevent injury.

    Do not use weights when working abdominals!

    The abs are a muscle just like anything else. Because of this, we recommend that you do not use resistance for weights when completing abdominal exercises.

    Like any other muscle, the muscle will grow when adding heavy resistance. When using only your body weight for resistance, you will end up toning the muscle and not making it bigger.

    Basic Core workout to get flat abs and lose stubborn belly fat

    Basic Abdominal Crunch

    basic abdominal crunch
    • With your back flat on the ground and your legs spent with heels flat on the ground,
    • Tuck hands beneath your neck
    • Tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your shoulders, neck, and head off the floor.
    • Pause for 1 second and squeeze abdominal muscles, completing one repetition.
    • Repeat 20 times.

    Oblique Crunch Left Side

    • Like the basic crunch, flip your legs to the side flat on the ground but with your back flat on the ground.
    • Hands tucked beneath your neck, tighten your oblique muscles, and lift your shoulders, neck, and head off the floor.
    • Pause for 1 second and squeeze abdominal muscles, completing one repetition.
    • Repeat 20 times.

    Oblique Crunch Right Side

    • Repeat the previous exercise on the right side. Repeat 20 times.

    Bicycle Kicks

    • With flat on the ground, lift your knees so that your shins are parallel to the floor period place and behind your head again
    • Draw your right elbow to your left knee, then your left elbow to your right knee to create a bicycle movement
    • Do once right and once left, which will create one repetition.
    • Repeat 20 times.

    Leg Raise

    • Lie flat on the ground with your legs straight.
    • Place your hands underneath your bottom for support.
    • Lift your feet 6 in a while, keeping your feet straight.
    • Then lift your legs so they are at a 45-degree angle.
    • Then return to about 6 inches above the ground.

    Try not to drop your feet and use a controlled movement. That is one repetition. You should feel this in your lower abs, and your entire core should be burning at this point.

    Stomach Vacuum Pose

    We will finish with the vacuum pose to end this core workout to get flat abs. This one is a little bit unorthodox but was a great way that the classic bodybuilders used to get a smaller waist. You may not want to be a big bodybuilder, but their method is highly effective at making your waist smaller.

    This works for men and women.

    • To start the stomach vacuum, stand up straight with your hands on your hips and blow all the air out of your lungs.
    • Expand the chest and suck in your stomach as much as possible and hold your breath for 10 seconds.
    • Inhale again, take a few inhales to catch your breath, and complete three more times.

    Every week your stomach should get smaller and smaller as your inner abdominal muscles become tighter. Combined with a healthy weight loss meal plan, this will help flatten your stomach and lose stubborn belly fat.

    Don’t Forget About Nutrition

    These core workouts to get flat abs and lose stubborn belly fat are just one component to rock solid abs. We’ve said this many times in other articles and will say it again. Abdominals are made in the kitchen, not the gym, so pay close attention to your nutrition.
