The single most important flat stomach rule is cardio. Infact it is probably the best stomach exercise you can give yourself.
Whilst we’ve mentioned abs crunches as part of a stomach workout we haven’t talked a lot about cardio.

Cardio workouts are necessary if you want your abs to show
Even if you’re just a looking for a flatter stomach ultimately you must lower your body fat percentage as crunches alone cannot reduce the layer of fat covering your abs.
Giving yourself a good cardio workout doesn’t have to be torture and the great advantage of an increased metabolic rate is one reason to start if you haven’t already.
Exercising in green space such as a park is an invigorating and energising way to start the day. When it comes to getting a flat stomach both exercise and eating the right foods are of equal importance.
Adding variety to your workouts is a good way to make cardio more enjoyable. When you find yourself getting bored and no longer looking forward to your workout change up your workout routine whether it's long duration or short duration, weight training etc.
Eating the right foods in addition to abdominal crunches will eventually lead the way to a flat belly and burn stomach fat.
Several theories have shown that short bursts of high intensity exercise boost the metabolism. Aerobic exercise reportedly increases the resting metabolic rate in the 24 hours that follow, which results in more calories being burnt then if you did a long bout of low intensity exercise.
We know some exercise is better than none at all but the main issue with low intensity exercise is that you will burn more whilst you exercise but far less throughout the day.
According to a recent study 20 minutes HI interval cardio boosted the metabolic rate and burned off more calories then 30-45 minutes of LI cardio. I don’t know about you but if you’re like me and find long jogs tedious then this will come as great news. Give it a try!
