Plank exercises for a flat tummy

Fitness

In order to achieve a flat tummy, it is important to eat a healthy diet, avoiding sugary, fried and processed foods and limiting alcohol. You should also control your calorie intake and avoid eating large meals very late at night. Combine all this with cardio exercise to burn fat and watch your tummy fat melt away.

Exercising your stomach muscles helps keep your core strong from within while flattening the appearance of your stomach at the same time.
