Stomach Exercises To Help You Get That Six Pack

Before we begin, know that stomach exercises alone are not going to get you a flat mid-section. You also need to eat healthy, weight train, and do some intense cardio.

Stomach exercises combined with the three elements I just mentioned, are what will get you that six pack you’ve always wanted.

With that said, here are four stomach exercises that will help, when you’re doing all the foundational things like diet and exercise:

Flat Stomach Exercise # 1 – Hip Raises

Start by lying down on your back. With your legs together, lift them towards the ceiling. Keep the legs straight, with the knees slightly bent.

Your arms and hands should be at your sides, palms facing down. Keep your head off the floor.

To do the movement, lift your hips off the floor. This will cause your feet to move straight up, as if you’re trying to touch the ceiling with them. Then bring the hips back down. The movement should initiate from the lower abs. Try to avoid using anything else to help the movement.

Repeat 10-15 times.

Flat Stomach Exercise # 2 – Reverse Crunches

Lie down on your back. Lift your head off the floor and place both your hands behind your head.

Now, lift your feet off the ground and bend the knees at a 90 degree angle. If viewed from the side, your thighs and legs are creating a number “7”, while the rest of your body is lying down.

Now, using your lower abs, curl the hips off the floor. Your knees will come close to your chest when you do this movement. Then relax the abs until the hips are touching the floor again.

Repeat 10-15 times.

Flat Stomach Exercise # 3 – Bicycles

Lie down on your back. Place your feet on the floor, with knees bent. Now raise the feet off the floor, so your thighs are perpendicular to your hips, and your feet are pointing towards the wall.

Now raise your head off the ground and place your hands behind your head.

To do the movement:

As you bring your left knee into your chest, bring your right armpit/elbow towards the left knee. Feel the oblique muscles contract as you do this. At the same time, while the left knee goes towards the chest, the right leg straightens out, as if you’re riding a bike.

Now relax and go back to the starting position. Repeat, by bringing in the right knee to chest, and left elbow to right knee. Straighten out the left leg.

Repeat 20-30 times.

Flat Stomach Exercise # 4 – Legs Up Crunches

This targets the upper abs. To start, lie down on your back. Lift your head off the ground and place hands behind your head.

Now, lift your legs together, perpendicular with your hips, with feet pointing towards the ceiling.

Use your abs to crunch your upper body towards your toes. Don’t strain your neck when doing this exercise. Relax it. Keep crunching until your shoulder blades come off the floor. The abs should be contracted all the way through. Then relax.

Repeat 10-15 times.

There you have it. Four stomach exercises you can start doing now, in combination with a sound diet plan and exercise program!

To a healthier, happier you!
