Doing sit-ups, crunches and other abdominal exercises will strengthen your abdominal muscles. But you won?t see a flat belly without reducing the fat on top of it.
Best approach:
Strive to lose 1-2 pounds a week with diet and 3-5 exercise workouts a week.
Replace high snacks with fruits and vegetables.
Cut food portions and alcohol intake.
To further reduce body fat, include aerobic activities like walking, jogging, cycling swimming or aerobic classes several times a week.
Exercise at a moderate pace for 20-30 nonstop minutes. Strength building exercises 2-3 times a week will increase your muscle mass, which raises metabolism so you?ll burn more calories. And while you?re at it, include sit-ups to strengthen abdominal muscles ? they help support the internal organs for a flatter appearance. The more consistent you are with these habits, the more visible the results.
NOTE: Get your provider?s OK before starting a vigorous exercise program.
