What is the One Best Stomach Exercise ?

You may raise a brow when I say this: but the best exercise for the stomach is Aerobic exercise. This is not the ideal answer. Many of us would prefer to get a flat stomach without breaking a sweat but the truth be told: skinny people have less stomach fat!

 

 

When we lose weight we lose weight in every part of our bodies, for example, when we go jogging our calf muscles are working hard but we will still lose weight everywhere. This means you could do thousands of stomach toning exercises and still not get results.

You may be familiar with ad campaigns promoting weight loss products and will have noticed slender models being used to promote these fat burning products- this is an advertising technique used to create a far more effective sales message. I could wager a bet that in many cases these models were already in shape and never used the product being promoted. Let’s just say this is a sneaky advertising trick used by many MNC and companies to grab your attention.

So what does work?

Aerobic exercise is definitely one type of exercise that you can expect to flatten your stomach as this will facilitate a drop in body fat which will eventually lead to reduced stomach fat. You can also take advantage of the most effective metabolism boosters such as anaerobic exercise (see below) and fat burning foods.

It is also advisable to drink enough fluid (water) which not only maintains good health but also helps to keep your skin clear and acts as a mild appetite suppressant.

How to make exercise more effective

Many individuals who want to lose weight are in the gym weight training or doing short bursts of high intensity exercise. According to experts this is an effective powerful 24 hour metabolism booster.

So if you’re looking for an effective fast way to flatten your stomach and get the most out of an exercise workout go for...

Short duration/high intensity exercise

When we exercise at high intensity i.e running our fastest we tire out our muscles very quickly. This is known as "oxygen debt” as the muscles do not have enough oxygen which results in the heart and lungs having to work much harder to recover. This process will keep your metabolism elevated and have a huge impact on your weight loss and burn stomach fat in the process!
