Hard Core Stomach Exercises

The more we see images with great bodies and great form of abs, the more we get envious and make us ask “how can they possibly achieve that form?” All people want to achieve that extraordinary abs. But you can do it even without the use of device or steroids! You can do stomach exercises to achieve that form right just anywhere in your house. Yes, it is possible and you can have it well toned and well formed.

I have mentioned before that the food that we eat and the kind of diet we are taking can influence the amount of fat we have in our belly and the formation of our abs. But here are three great flat stomach exercises that I have been performing most often. I will introduce to you these exercises one by one and you may recognize it as it is also used in fitness programs like P90X . These stomach exercises for women can be done for women who gave birth and have a belly with so much fat deposits. Likewise, the men can benefit from it especially if they have big bellies.

I will tell you first that these exercises can be quite tough and you need enough energy and effort but you can benefit from it since they are very effective and can give impact to the formation of your abs especially on the part (lower abdomen) where the fat burning is quite slowly.

So here are the exercises that you can follow. Find a place where you can lie flat and be sure that you are comfortable and it has enough space for you to move.

Raising of the Hips several Times (hip Raises)

1. Lie flat on the floor with your arms on the ground.
2. Position yourself in the ground forming your legs like a diamond. Tip: you can know if you are doing it right if your knees face the opposite direction and your soles meet with each other.
3. Raise your positioned legs up in the air including your hips. Make sure that it is not parallel with your body (do it like a right angle or 90degrees). Tip: to make this possible, you can assist your body by using your both hands.
4. Go back to your original position
5. Repeat it 25 times in 3 sessions.

Pulse with Hype! The Pulse Raise Exercise

1. Just like the hip raises, position yourself comfortably on the ground with your back. Rest your arms on the ground.
2. Put together your legs and raise it in the air to form a right angle. To get a bit of tension in your calves, you flex your feet. Raise as well your hips.
3. Flex your knees and make a counting of 1,2
4. Bring back the straight position of your legs
5. Repeat it for about 25 times in 3 sessions. Tip: You have to make it fast as the speed is what’s important for this.

Powerful Scissor Kicks!

I can consider this as the toughest exercise among the three. However, it got a powerful kick to form abs.

1. Comfortably lay flat on the ground with your back. Put your arms parallel with your body.
2. Position your right leg and raise it forming a 90 degrees angle.
3. Position the left and raise it not same height with the right leg. It’s a bit lower than the other leg and sort of like forming a pair of scissors.
4. Hold the position for 4 counts. By this exercise, you will already feel the pressure and the tension in your lower abdomen.
5. Alternate the two legs in their position when you’re done amounting 1 to 4.
6. Do it for 25 times and the sessions may range from 1 to 3.

Additional tips: You are allowed to take rests between the sessions however; it should not exceed 15 seconds. But if you can’t make it and you feel the need to rest a bit, you are allowed. I know a lot of you guys can feel like this might be better for females than males, but these principles apply especially when thinking of stomach exercises for men.

Chunks and Bits of Info

The effect of the exercise is not like a magic that after a while you’ll already see the difference and the desired results you want. It takes time and you’ll just have to wait. If you see no improvements, do not fret. Inside of your abdomen, the formation is going on beneath your fats.

When you do these exercises, which I think are the best stomach exercises, you have to couple it with the proper diet for working out. Remember also that your muscles need to rest, so perform your exercise at least 2-3 times in a week only. It is needed to repair your muscles from the tension and tearing done during the exercise. You’ll see the better results as you make it 2-3 times only—stronger, longer and better endurance and abs form.
