Flat Stomach Exercise That Gives you A Flat Stomach

Far too often I see people giving advice on how to get a flat stomach and it makes me chuckle. Much of this so-called "expert" advice leaves many abs bulging, bigger than before, and just unsightly. Learn the secrets to getting a toned tummy that really gets attention...
A Flat Stomach Exercise Designed to give Instant Results?
Yeah! It's true! There's a way you can instantaneously stimulate your abdominals into staying flat rather than sticking out. It's not that hard, and it will only take you 9 minutes a day. Or if you're really on a time crunch, you can split it up throughout your day for awesome results.
The Theory:
First, I have to back up this information with some common sense. In today's day, many of us sit at computers, desks, or tables the majority of our day. Have you ever really looked at your stomach when you sit? Okay, I'm just assuming that you're sitting now, and I want you to actually feel the way your abs are as you sit.
Chances are, your abs are sticking out. They're relaxed, sure, but do you realize that we're training them to stay like that? Well, the technique I am about to explain to you is designed to re-train them to stay in rather than out.
The 9 Minute Flat Stomach Exercise:
1. Minute 1:00 - The Plank. This is probably my favorite flat stomach exercise because it's placing tension against the abdominal wall in the very position needed to strengthen them inward. You'll see what I mean.
Start: in a push-up position, or with only your elbows (forearms) and toes on the ground. Hold yourself rigid, flexing your abs until your entire body is straight. Hold for 15 seconds. Rest for 5 Seconds. Repeat the hold for another 15 seconds. Then hold for another 15 seconds. Rest for 5 seconds. And one last hold for 15 seconds, and then rest for 5.
That was one minute long. As you'll notice, your midsection feels tighter. You'll stand straighter, and your abs will be easier to hold in toward your back.
2. Minute 2:00- Stomach Vacuum. The stomach vacuum is a very effective way to train your abs to go in to your body, but without the harsh strain that most ab workouts place on your back, neck, and abs.
Start: standing with your back against a wall. This will keep you from cheating, and curving your back. Secondly, place your hand over your belly button. Now, keeping your hand in the exact same place, pull your abdominals in toward your back (keep breathing) away from your hand, and hold (keep breathing) for 5 seconds. Slowly let your abs back toward your hand. Rest for 5 seconds. Repeat 6 times until one minute is up.
You'll, again, feel like your abs are immediately flattened after this exercise. The effects of doing this are amazing and almost instantaneous. The only problem is returning to your original sitting positions. Most of us sit at computers for long periods of time. This makes our stomachs shoot forward again. To combat this, sit straight up, and hold head up high. You'll feel more confident, and your abs will be trained to stay inward.
3. Minute 3:00 - Upper Stomach Vacuum. This is the exact technique as above. The only difference is that you're going to stand against a wall, and have your hand about 5 - 7 inches ABOVE your belly button (or depending upon where the bottom of your chest is).
With the same technique, keep your hand in the same position as you pull your upper abs away from your hand. Hold for 5 seconds, rest for 5 seconds, and repeat for one minute.
If you desperately want to, you can actually add a "Lower Stomach Vacuum" to the mix by going to your lower stomach, and repeating the same process. I encourage it, but you don't really have to.
Rinse and Repeat!
That's it! All you have to do now is repeat that entire process two more times, and you've instantly flattened your abs in under ten minutes! You see? For a flat stomach exercise, that wasn't so bad, was it?
