Be aware that in no way will you be able to achieve flat abs using only abs exercises. You must eat healthy and use an exercise routine that builds muscle throughout your entire body and thus effectively speeding up your metabolism so you can burn your belly fat and actually be able to view your abs.
None-the-less, there are some abs exercises you can use to strengthen your core section and make your abs stronger so that when you finally do lose the stubborn belly fat, you’ll have a nice looking six-pack. Here are three flat abs exercises you can use to do just that.
Flat Abs Exercise 1: The Bicycle
This exercise works the middle abs and obliques the best. Lie down on the floor as you were going to do a sit-up or crunch. With your head off the ground, bring your hands behind your head and lift your knees up off of the ground as well. The move here requires you to straighten one leg while bending the other and twisting your upper body so that your opposite elbow touches your opposite knee. Then rotate from left elbow right knee to right elbow left knee.
Flat Abs Exercise 2: Renegade Dumbbell Rows
This is another great abs exercise that will concentrate mainly on your obliques as well as your core. Grab a few low weight dumbbells to start with and hold one in each hand. Get down on the floor like you are going to do a push-up, leaving the weights in your hands so you are balancing your body on them. The move here is to lift one weight up towards your side (row move) while maintaining your body weight balance on the other weight using your opposite hand. Bring the weight back down and then lift the opposite arm.
Flat Abs Exercise 3: The One-Leg Plank
The one-leg plank is just a bit tougher version of the normal plank and will really work your core stability and strength.
Start here in a push-up position only holding your upper body up with your forearms rather than your hands. You should be holding your lower body up with your toes. Now simply raise one leg in the air and hold your body stiff as a plank for about 30 seconds. Lower your leg and repeat with the opposite leg in the air.
Conclusion:
As I stated in the intro, you are not going to achieve a six-pack using only these flat abs exercises. These exercises are just a small part of the overall plan you need to have in order to achieve your core fitness goals. Be aware of what you do need to do with your diet and exercise and then set a plan to make it possible for you to achieve your goals.
