How do I get a flat stomach?
Genetics will most likely play a role in whether or not you can obtain a flat stomach, or a “six-pack” look to your abdominals. Having said that, two types of exercise can help: strength training and cardiovascular exercise and don’t forget diet.
The abdominals like any other muscle group, they must grow larger and the fat that lies over them must decrease, for them to become visible. Unfortunately, they are situated in the area of the body that contains the most fat.
Therefore, you must combine strength training with cardiovascular exercise to get rid of the fat. Most people do not do nearly enough cardiovascular exercise to decrease their body fat percentage to a point where they would see their abdominals.
Finally, even with a dedication to aerobic exercise and strength training the role of diet must not be underestimated. All people with a “six-pack” have a very low percentage of overall body fat.
