How to Flatten Your Stomach for Women
A flat stomach not only looks good in a swimsuit, but it makes all clothes look better. A woman with a flat, toned stomach doesn't have to worry about wearing a girdle or covering herself with a big, flowing blouse. You can do specific exercises that target the stomach to flatten and tone it over time.
Things You'll Need
- Two 5-lb. dumbbells
- Large stability ball
Tips For You
- Walk 30 minutes per day. Some form of cardio each day helps to flatten your stomach.
- Lie on your back and bring legs up so the soles of your feet face the ceiling.
- Take a 5-lb. dumbbell in each hand.
- Raise your hands so your arms are parallel to your legs, and raise your head off the ground.
- Lower your legs so they are 6 inches off the ground. At the same time, bring your arms above your head so your entire body is stretched out. Never put your head down.
- Go back to your original position. Repeat this exercise 30 times.
- Lie face down, with your abdomen on top of a large stability ball.
- Bring your arms straight out in front of you. You should be balancing with only your toes.
- Lift your right foot off the ground and hold it for 5 seconds.
- Lift your left foot off the ground and hold it for 5 seconds.
- Do 15 reps on each side.
