Eight Tips for Great Abs
By Alex Baran, Project Weight Loss editor
October 05, 2007


You abs may become more flexible and stronger at the same time if you follow some of the next tips and a healthy lifestyle:

Tip # 1: Eat raspberries.

Raspberries are full of fibers, and fight against the constipation and the sense of fullness.

Tip # 2: Drink a lot of water.

It`s healthy, calorie free, and increases your metabolism. The idea that water makes your belly larger is wrong because the water is the product that the body eliminates the easiest.

Tip # 3: Give up cocktails.

Alcohol has no fats but it may lead to fat deposits on the belly by increasing the level of cortisone.

Tip # 4: Stand straight.

If you don`t stand straight, you belly may seem larger. This is a slimming effect on your belly that also helps you work on your abdominal muscles.

Tip # 5: Plant flowers.

Gardening may help you lose weight. The bends, lifts, and planting may burn up to 350 calories per hour.

Tip # 6: Dance!

All you need is an inspiring song so you move graceful around the house. It is known that dance makes you burn a lot of calories and hips moves may reduce your waist.

Tip # 7: Put your feet up!

Sit on your back, on the floor, with your feet on the bed or on a chair, and easily lift yourself by using your shoulders, neck, and belly muscles. Return to the initial position after a few seconds of standing straight. This exercise should be repeated for at least fifteen times.

Tip # 8: Frogs.

Lay down on your abs, put your foot under a heavier armchair, and lift your head and body as high as you can with your arms on your neck. Repeat this exercise twice per week, for twenty times.

Always talk to a specialist before starting a fitness program.
