Abdominal Workout

If you are just starting out with an exercise routine and want to get flatter, sexier abdominal muscles, than the first exercise you want to start out with is the bicycle. Even if you have been working out, you can add this to your workout routine to amp up your fat burning.

First of all, you want to lie flat on your back with your hands behind your head. Bring both of your knees to your chest area. As you bring your knees to your chest area, raise your shoulders off of the ground slightly. Now start to bike pedal. While you are bike pedaling, take your right elbow and touch it to your left knee. Next take your left elbow and touch it to your right knee. Keep breathing while doing the bicycle exercise workout. Start out slowly and add more reps to your workout as you build your strength.

Another simple abdominal workout routine for a flatter stomach requires using your legs. Lie flat on your back on the floor. Keep your legs at a 90 degree angle. Lift one leg at a time of five sets each. Do this ten times. If you need a break in between leg lifts, do not take more than sixty seconds if you want to get the maximum results of this exercise.

The third abdominal workout routine for a flatter stomach will require the use of a ball. The name of this exercise is the ball crunch. When you use the ball behind your back, you are getting maximum results on your abs.

To do the ball crunch lie with the ball under your lower back. Next take your arms and cross them behind your head. Slowly lift your torso off of the ball. To do this contract your abdominal muscles and pull your ribs in the direction of your hips. Lower back down and stretch your abdominal muscles. Repeat.

The reverse crunch is a great way to workout your abdominal muscles for a flatter stomach. To do the reverse crunch you will need to lie on your back. Bring your knees towards your chest bent just to about 90 degrees. Lift your legs towards the ceiling. As you lift your legs towards the ceiling curl your hips so you are contracting your abdominal muscles.

There are many abdominal workout routines for a flatter stomach that you can do.

With commitment to working out, abdominal fat loss, and eating healthy, you will have flatter abs than you do at this point.
