Flat Stomach?

I think diet has a lot to do with it. Be sure you are eating TONS of vegetables, proteins, and fruits. Watch your sugar, sodium, and carb intake, too. It might help to do some research on which foods are best for flattening your stomach.. they always say "Abs are made in the kitchen!"

Hi, mate you cant spot reduce fat, it comes off all over. So i cant think of any ab exercise that would get rid of the jiggle ha, ha. Everybody has a 6 pack (even me) its just most of us have too much body fat more than 10% covering our midsection to enable the abs to show. I recently read an interesting article on strong core. It stated that the midsection is better trained through stabilization exercises than through crunch type stuff. Lots of plank based stuff normal plank held for 60-90 seconds, side plank held for 45-60 seconds. Also the old school ab wheel (which are great). Have you tried weight training, it could be a magic pill to give your routine a kick up the *kitten*.

Good luck and if you get the six pack before me i will buy you a pint.

Superset fork put downs with seated table pushbacks

lol no idea what that is

They are taking the piss mate ha, ha, Put your fork down and push the chair away from the table

Posture is a big indicator also, people stomachs are probably flatter that they think, but poor posture and looking down makes it look like your stomach is bigger than it actually is. Work on the Glutes, traps, lats aswell as the abs, especially if you sit at a desk for long periods.

Eating more than 1200 calories and heavy lifting.

You are too sweet!

I don't think you can spot reduce where your fat comes off, but I've lost 80+ pounds and I think exercise is important but diet is key! If you eat lean protein, healthy fruits, and veggie your stomach will begin to flatten as you lose weight!
It definitely takes a long time! I use to be a straight cardio bunny and now that I'm over 80 pounds down, I do have a lot of flabby skin...
So I suggest weight training and cardio, if I would have known better, I would have myself.

Exercise is for fitness and health. Calorie deficit for fat loss and weight reduction.
The BIGGEST key is consistency. Too many people say they aren't progressing, then when you see they aren't being as consistent as they may think, it's easy to pinpoint the issue.
Jiggle will stop when you get closer to 20%-24% body fat. Weight loss alone doesn't always mean that the weight lost was all fat.

It's all about diet. Give up (more or less all) sugar, wheat, processed foods and alcohol and it will happen. I'm a 49 year old female and since doing this have a pretty firm flat stomach and the bits of thigh and hip fat are slowly going too.

Not necessary.
