Top 3 Exercises to Get Flat ABS

Here’s my vote for the top 3 ways to a flat stomach

AB Exercises on a Ball

Stability or Swiss balls are one of the safest pieces of exercise equipment for your abs and arguably one of the best ways to tighten your core.  This is one of the best ways to get those flat abs you always dreamed of. These balls are frequently used by physical therapist to ensure proper spine alignment. Shy away from some of the products you see in the infomercials that make outrageous claims. A lot of the products are ineffective, unsafe will quickly start to collect dust under your bed or in a corner. Follow the guidelines on a proper ball size. The correct size of the ball is based on your height and weight.

Pilates

Pilates does not use your typical crunch moves. These moves engage every muscle in your core. Research has shown that pilates provides a better workout for abdominal muscles than regular crunches. Be careful, most of the moves proven success is based upon proper technique. Therefore, make sure you are doing the exercises correctly. Consult with a personal trainer or a certified pilates instructor to determine which exercises work best for you and for proper form techniques.


Isometric AB Exercises

Isometrics are strength training techniques where the joint angle and muscle length do no change during contraction. Meaning, there is no motion. Incorporating isometric exercises will help increase abdominal muscular endurance. Isometric exercises are great when you are short on time and have a limited time for a workout. A great isometric exercise is the plank.
