How to get rid of my flabby tummy?

Well to be frank, its fat.

No matter how many situps, crunches or curls you do, it will not get rid of that fat.

Everyone has abdominal  muscles – under that fat.

If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be able to stay upright, flex or bend our torso. The core muscles that run around your middle (transverse abdominus), cross over the front and back (obliques), run down the front and back of your body (Rectus abdominus and erector spinae) help to stop excessive extension and rotation of the spine and also keep a strong safe postural position whilst be perform other bigger movements.

If you have this layer of fat around your midriff you are simply not burning off more calories than you eat. So you need to look at what you are eating and how much.

As we get older, we lose muscle and this causes the body to store fat – sit ups will not have any effect on this at all.

To lose fat and get a flatter stomach you must

1.     Work all the major muscle groups so that you increase your metabolism.

2.     Workout regularly

3.     Have a diet that is low in saturated far, processed food, sugar and alcohol.

If you want to look like an athlete you have to behave like one I’m afraid!
