Why Weight

Flat Stomach - Men and Women

By Howard Haynes

A flat stomach. Men, this is what you want. Women, this is what you want. Men, this is what you want in women! And women, this is what you want in men. Come on, be honest!

Next to the eyes, a nice, toned set of abs has been called the man's sexiest body part by women in surveys. But how do you achieve it?

Best is to achieve it through a four-pronged attack plan.

In any battle, you know that the best way to attack the enemy is to attack him on all fronts. The same goes for abdominal fat. Why neglect any weapon in your arsenal when you don't have to?

This is especially in light of the fact that abdominal fat can be some of the trickiest to get rid of. Especially in men, this is the area were fat is most likely to be stored first.

However, it is also possible for women to get a potbelly. Especially after pregnancy, the stomach, along with the hips and thighs, are prime fat storage areas.

But how to flatten the stomach? Remember our four-pronged approach. Our four weapons consist of the following:

1. A sensible diet. This need not be starvation. however, you must take in fewer calories than you burn if you wish to lose any fat.

One good tip is to drink plenty of water. While this can increase your need to take bathroom breaks, it can help you feel more full. To avoid losing that feeling of fullness after you go to the bathroom, I advise sipping water throughout the day.

2. Aerobics. This is necessary because, to lose a pound of fat, you need to burn 3500 more calories than you take in. Aerobics can be any kind of activity you enjoy, walking, running, swimming, bicycling, basketball or tennis. Any activity that gets the heart beating for lease 30 minutes a day.

3. Weight training. Yes, weight training. If you want a flat stomach, men and women alike, this is important. Why? Because muscle is more metabolically active than fat. It burns calories even when we sleep. So, putting on lean body tissue is important. For every pound of fat that you replace with muscle, you end up burning dozens of extra calories a day.

Weight training need not be difficult, and workouts can take as little as 20 minutes. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends strength training two or three times a week.

4. Abdominal training. You may have heard that it is impossible to "spot reduce;" that is, to reduce fat only on one area of the body by exercising that particular area. This is true, which is why I recommend are four-pronged approach.

However, abdominal training is still important, because strengthening the abdominal wall helps to hold in the internal organs, and even helps with the process of digestion and elimination through the wavelike contractions of the abdominals. Furthermore, developing the abdominal muscles can result in a stomach that is less likely to poke outwards.

A flat stomach, men and women, is attainable. Just follow this four-part plan and see results.
