Instructions
1. Eat healthy and control the calories you consume. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. These foods will promote fat loss and limit your calories, but fill you up. Avoid saturated fats and sugars.
2. Do sit-ups on an incline bench. Lie flat on the incline bench and place your feet on the end that is higher than your head. Line up your torso and shoulders. Thrust them toward your legs, while crunching down on your abdominal muscles. Raise your back and shoulders slowly toward the knees. Control your abs and execute the exercise slow and steady. This control will build up resistance. Repeat this exercise 10 times and do 3 sets.
3. After the full sit-ups, do fast short sets of abdominal crunches on an exercise mat. Hold the crunch position for five seconds. This exercises pumps oxygen through the muscles and facilitates muscle growth for toning and tightening of the stomach muscles. Repeat this exercise 10 times and do 3 sets.
4. Perform leg raises for core strength. Lie on an exercise mat. Put your hands against you body or under your buttocks. Slowly lift both legs engaging just the abdominal muscles. Knees should be slightly bent. Keep your back flat on the ground. Lift the legs as high as you can and slowly lower them to the floor. Repeat this exercise 10 times and do 3 sets.
