Your Flat Belly Plan
Spring break is just around the corner… it’s time to get on your flat belly plan!
Do crunches, right? Wrong! Research shows that it takes 250,000 crunches to burn one pound of fat. Why bother? Working those muscles underneath won’t matter if you still have a layer of blubber covering them up.
In addition, research done by Dr. Stuart McGill shows that, without a doubt, crunches are one of the main culprits when it comes to creating back injuries. So not only do they not work to give you the flat belly you’re after, but in the process you may end up injuring yourself. You won’t look so good on the beach if you are bent over with an achy back.
Instead, replace those crunches with stability exercises that strengthen the core. Here’s a fantastic core exercise:
Also, sitting all day can create tight hip flexors, leading to the appearance of a pooch. And if crunches have been a part of your routine they’ll make this even worse.
Incorporate stretches, such as the stretch below, to lengthen the hip flexors to decrease the appearance of a pooch, which will improve your posture and flatten your stomach.
