Healthy Living Over Fifty: The Quickest Path To a Flat Stomach

Great ebook on the subject

For some people over fifty it's so difficult to get a flat stomach. If some don't see almost instant results they give up before they achieve their goal.

A major factor that contributes to people giving up is that they just aren't eating right or doing the right exercises.

What's the Right Way to Get a Flat Stomach? 

Surprisingly, the path to a flat stomach does not lie in crunches or sit-ups. But, doing cardio can definitely help get you a flat stomach with healthy aging.

This is because cardio exercise burns far more calories than exercises such as crunches and leg lifts which focus primarily on the stomach. When performing cardio exercises, you will burn fat over your entire body. Once you start burning away the fat on your stomach, your stomach muscles will begin to show.

This is the key to getting a taut, flat stomach! Even if you can't do the flat stomach exercises right away, you should change up your diet and lose the fat first. Once you've gotten accustomed to a cardio regimen, and lost a significant amount of weight, those sit ups and crunches we discussed before will help you define and further flatten out your belly.

What Are the Best Crunch Exercises? 

For working your upper abs, the basic crunch is your best exercise. You'll probably want an exercise mat, since you'll be lying on your back to do this exercise. With your hands at the side of  your head and your knees bent 90 degrees. Lift your shoulders from the ground like you're trying to bring your knees and chest together. Remember, your legs do not move here! Lift your stomach muscles only. Do this for 3 or 4 sets, 15 to 30 times a set. Also remember to take a few minutes rest between sets.

For lower abs the best workout by far is a reverse crunch. The reverse crunch requires you to lie on your back with your hands directly behind your head, knees bent, and feet roughly 5 inches from the ground. Slowly bring your knees toward your chest, picking your butt up off the ground slightly. Focus on working your stomach muscles. Again preform this exercise in 3 to 4 sets. Make sure you do 15 - 30 reps each, resting 2-3 minutes between each rep.

There are a variety of other workouts which work the stomach muscles but by far these 2 are the best. Poor dieting practices and improper exercise are the fatal blow to most people's attempt to
achieve a flat stomach. Take what I've outlined here for you seriously, and follow this regimen to the letter. Do not cheat yourself at the opportunity to get a flat stomach.

Be as consistent as possible with your routine. Doing 2 sets of your exercise routine one day and 6 the next to make up for it will make it harder to get a flat stomach, and stall you on your journey to success.

You Must Eat Right

You need to remain on a healthy, low sugar diet to see those abdominal muscles. Otherwise you could do all the exercises in the world, but if your diet is loaded with unhealthy choices,
like sugars and excess calories, you'll never see your six pack.
