If you're totally sick of having a flabby stomach and believe that you are finally ready to do something more than complain about it; read on.
Have you been doing crunches because that's what you thought worked best? You should try squats instead as squats will tone better than most other things.
There is more tension because of the fact that squats require your core to remain tight, with the muscles then acting as a stabilizer which in turn gets rid of excess belly fat fast.
You don't even have to use any weights when you know how to tone your stomach the right way as you can achieve good results using your own body weight resistance which will give those abdominals a good old-fashioned workout.
How do you do squats? Find a wall and squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground and repeat 10 reps of about 4-5 sets.
Another good method of how to tone your stomach is with a flex and tighten workout.
This terrific move works those ab muscles hard.
Flex and tighten your abdominals, hold for about 15 seconds and then release.
Repeat this for several minutes every day.
It is the tension that effectively tones your tummy muscles and reduces that unsightly fat.
What's even better is that this great little number can be done while watching the tube, standing in a supermarket checkout queue or even while washing the dishes.
And finally; I know everyone hates nit-picking about poor food and drinking habits; but seriously you will need to adopt a healthy nutritious diet if you want to tone your stomach because exercise alone simply doesn't work.
As the saying goes; you are what you eat.
What you put in your mouth definitely does end up on your body somewhere like your belly, hips or thighs.
