How to Tone and Flatten Your Abs

Strong abs help improve your posture; prevent you from injuring your back when lifting heavy objects; lower your risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes; and protect you during your athletic activities. Having a tight stomach is partially determined by genetics, but if you persistently follow an abdominal-building routine, you can expect to tone and flatten your abs.

Instructions

  1. Make the Commitment

    • The most important part of starting an abdominal-building routine is to be serious about it. You cannot expect major results in days or weeks. The spare tire will eventually disappear, but it can take up to a year and a half, depending on your initial level of fitness, to develop toned abdominal muscles. So it is important to stick with it.

      The good news is that it will not take long before the new routine becomes a habit. If you make the effort over the course of 30 days to stay committed to a new abdominal-building routine, you will find yourself doing the routine as a matter of habit, which makes it easier to stay motivated.

      Keep in mind that your goal is mostly aesthetic, and you should not let your ab program run your life.
