Ab Exercises for a Flat Stomach

The video you just watched is an example of some great ab exercises you can do to flatten your stomach.

Don't get fooled, however. Your goal to a flat stomach is mostly determined by your eating habits. Also, strength training will get you to a flatter stomach quicker than endless hours of cardio.

Make sure your eating habits are in check, perform total body workouts 3 days per week, and do ab exercises that are benefical to your abdominals and lower back.

Don't do crunches. The main function of your stomach muscles is to stabilize, not flex the spine. Crunches also put a tremendous amount of pressure on your spine and discs which can cause low back pain and problems.

Some of the best ab exercises are planks, side planks, and other stabilization variations. Trust me, you'll be much better off if you don't do crunches or sit-ups ever again.
