Best Exercise Ever For Flat Abs

By Tim Rudd

I can't tell you how many people come up too me daily and ask: What's the best exercise to get flat abs? It seems to be everyone's goal to getting flat abs, especially when summer is right around the corner. I look around and see people doing hundreds of sit ups, crunches, rotational exercises and side bends trying to get those sexy flat abs they see in magazines and on T.V. You would think that after all those repetitions, with so many different exercises, that they would have already achieved that elusive, tight midsection that everyone wishes they had. There are so many ads touting how this or that abdominal routine or exercise will give you the flat abs you've been so desperately trying to achieve. Even with all these perfect so called remedies available to you, they all still come short, very short of helping you get flat abs. Well today is your lucky day! You are now about to find out what exercise is the best ever at getting you those flat abs. That's right, just in time for summer, you are about to find out the most useful exercise ever at getting those flat abs you've always wanted. Now don't get too excited, it might not be what you think, and it's not a very easy exercise. If it was, everybody would have a sexy flat midsection. So do I have your attention? Good because now is the time to reveal this exercise.

DISCIPLINE!

It doesn't sound too exciting does it? Well the excitement isn't in the exercise but in the fact that it will give you flat abs, guaranteed. That's right! You will get flat abs from one exercise that doesn't even have anything to do with a crunch, side bend or rotational movement. So you ask, discipline in what? Nutrition, that's right! What you eat each day is going to give you Flat Abs! I'm sure you know that eating the right foods takes a lot of discipline, and yes exercising discipline is harder than a thousand crunches, but one will give you Flat Abs, and one could actually make your stomach look bigger. So with discipline you get results, with a thousand crunches you get, nothing but really good at counting to one thousand and as a reward, your stomach may actually look bigger. Wow! That must hurt. I just told you crunches can actually make your stomach bigger. Well, they can and it all has to do with what you feed yourself or lack thereof, not the exercise itself. So you must follow a disciplined eating pattern if you want a tight sexy midsection. Sounds difficult but actually once you develop good eating habits and put those bad ones behind you, it becomes second nature, just like the bad habits you have now. So why is eating the right foods important? Well, if you eat fatty foods and too many simple carbs(sugar) then you're most likely eating a lot of high calories foods with very little nutritional value. The problem with this is you most likely are storing all these extra calories in your adipose tissue. So that spare tire people say that's around their midsection can be directly related to the types of foods they eat. Now we've all seen human anatomy pictures one time or another, you know the picture of the human body without skin showing all your muscles. Well guess what? everyone has a flat belly. That's right you see that nice six pack that some model or athlete seems to effortlessly show off. Well if you're carrying a lot of fat in your midsection, due to your undisciplined diet, no matter what or how many exercises you do that midsection is going to stay the same or even get bigger. Your adipose tissue is stored over your muscle, so if you build muscle under that fat, it can actually make your stomach look bigger. Eat the right foods at the right times and lose the fat in your midsection and you will start to see the results from all those abdominal exercises that you do. So now you ask: what should I be eating? Well that is another whole article in itself, but use this simple strategy to get started and remember exercise discipline when it comes to nutrition, it is the best exercise ever for flat abs.

Make this a habit and then you can start to tweak it a little bit. Give it about a month and look for my next article on a functional way to eat, no matter what your lifestyle.
