Get A Flat Belly

Just keep moving.


That flat belly will come with an overhaul of your entire body. Regular exercise (even in small amounts) and eating healthy will help you to achieve this goal. You will need to lose overall weight to also reduce your belly. You need to create a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories to lose one pound. That is a 500 calorie a day reduction to lose one pound per week. You can do a combination of increase your movement and decreasing your food intake.


Instructions


1. EAT HEALTHY - Don't eat anything that has high fructose corn syrup or hydrogenated oils. High fructose corn syrup bypasses your body' s normal processing system and goes straight to your blood stream. This increases your chances of obesity and diabetes.


Have a lot of healthy food on hand so that it is easy for you to eat healthy. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains. Half of your diet should be vegetables. You are worth it!


2. EXERCISE REGULARLY - Even if you have to start out small, 5 minutes of walking, it does make a difference. Gradually increase the amount of time to 45-60 minutes of walking per day. That's right, every day! Then start a weight lifting program.


Create a routine that is easy for you to do so that you will be successful.


3. CONCENTRATE - Working on your abs will help. There are many different kinds of crunches you can do so you don't get bored. Double crunches, reverse crunches, etc. Also, tightening up your abs can be done anywhere at anytime. I tighten up my abs while driving and try to hold it for as long as possible. It really does help.


4. GET SUPPORT - Track your progress online at sites like mydailyplate.com and livestrong.com It is great to support others while helping yourself.


Set up a buddy system so that you always have someone to exercise with throughout the week. If you do not have people available to exercise with you, you can always join a gym and at least be around other people to help to stay motivated.
