It can be very easy to neglect your abdominal muscles when planning a workout. Having a strong core is crucial to being fit, strong, and healthy so follow Sundried's flat stomach abs workout and see the results for yourself!

How to get a flat stomach

Unfortunately, doing endless crunches won't get you a flat stomach. You can't 'spot reduce' an area, which means you can't just target your tummy by doing ab exercises and expect it to lose weight. By following a healthy, balanced diet, drinking enough water, and getting enough sleep, you will be well on your way to getting a flat stomach. Adding a great core workout like this one into your weekly routine will then help to tone and strengthen the area to help enhance the appearance of your abs. 

Exercises for a flat stomach

There are lots of core exercises out there, so we have consolidated all the best ones to give you a fantastic workout routine that you can do anywhere. Using resistance like you'd find on a gym machine will certainly get you good results, but this bodyweight workout can be done at home or outdoors so it is more accessible to everyone.

Roll Back Mountain Climbers

Start by lying on your back and bring your knees into your chest. Rock back onto your shoulders and use the momentum of your movement to roll forward. Place your hands in front of you and then jump your feet back into a plank. From here complete 4 mountain climbers, bringing your knees in towards your hands. Then lift your hands off the ground and roll back. That’s one rep. Go for 10 reps.

Plank Split Squat Thrusts

Get into a press up position keeping your hands directly underneath your shoulders and your body in a straight line. Jump your legs forward towards your hands, splitting your legs so a foot lands by either hand. Jump your feet back to meet in your plank position. Complete 10 reps.

Oblique Plank Pull Throughs

Lie on your side and prop yourself up on your forearm, keeping it underneath your shoulder. Lift your hip so you are in a side plank position. Reach up over your head extending your arm out straight and then sweep it down through the gap between your stomach and the floor, keeping your hips lifted at all times. Complete 10 on each side with 30 seconds rest between each.

V-Sit

This is the exercise shown in the image above. Start seated with your back straight and knees slightly bent, lean back until you feel your abdominal muscles engage. When you're ready, extend your legs out straight in front of you and raise your arms above your head. You may well feel your body shudder and shake, so try to control your abs as much as possible. Hold this position for as long as you can.

Walk The Plank

Doing the plank just got even harder! Take up a plank position, and then lift yourself up into a press up position (straight arms) one hand at a time. Then lower yourself back down. Repeat this for 30 seconds and feel the burn!
