diet and exercise. and don't eat too little but also don't overeat. you want to make sure you're giving yourself enough calories to sustain your energy level. simple exercises you can start off is walking or running. cardio/aerobic exercises are great for the core. i must say, as an avid runner, i don't ever have to worry about my core. for some reason, running does it all for me without me having to think twice about my middle section. swimming is also another great exercise as it's almost a total body workout, working your arms, legs, core, etc. you should definitely give these a try. then like the post above, once you've got a routine down, etc.. then start incorporating exercises that target your middle specifically like crunches, sit-ups, etc. oh, planks are great too! well, good luck and no worries, i'm sure you'll get that nice flat stomach in no time... just remember to stick with it, and do it! :)
Hi there!
For a healthy body one must keep ones BMI within the normal range and dieting should be about eating healthy with adequate carbohydrates, proteins, fat and plenty of fruits and vegetables to provide vitamins and minerals and not about cutting down on food. For an appropriately toned up body and flat abdomen, one may begin by reducing the subcutaneous fat and increasing the muscle tone. One would need to initially do this with exercises like swimming, aerobics etc that uniformly tone the body; before one can take up exercises that work specifically around the abdomen region like ab-crunches, leg lifts, side-crunches etc. You may like to join a gym or aerobics for the same. It is also essential to rotate between various exercise regimens like swimming, biking, jogging, aerobics etc. One must also understand that nothing works like magic and the toning may take a few months to be visible.
Hope this was useful.
Take care!
