7th Golden Rule for a Flat Belly: Flat Belly Exercises
    Flat Belly Exercises Curl with weights This is really your standard sit up, but with the additional help of weights. You can start with a simple sit up without weights to gradually increasing the weights. Do this 10 times, pause, and do the set again. Gradually increase your reps or your weights (it's usually recommended that you don't increase both at the same time because you could hurt yourself). I love this exercise because it engages all of your core muscles. The Plank
The plank works your rectus abdominis and your lower back, your shoulder girdle and your erector spinae. It's great for your posture. And a great posture is not only healthy, it also helps your tummy to look flatter. Hold this pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then pause, and do it again. Pilates Circles These little exercises are great for toning the lower abdomen. Lie on your back, stretch your legs straight up into the air, and then make circles with your legs by imagining you're tracing the outline of a dinner plate that you've just filled with the Dutch Oven Halibut recipe on this site (which you plan to eat tonight). Do this for about one minute. Feel the burn. Reverse Curl I'm calling this one the reverse curl, but you can mix it up and do a normal curl as well. The point is that you want to surprise and engage your core tummy muscles as much as possible. The more you mix it up, the better your results will be. The exercise is really quite tiny. You don't come all the way up as you do in the first one, and you don't go all the way down. Instead, you'll want to engage your muscles throughout the exercise. Try to do 25 reps, pause, and repeat. Gradually increase the number of reps you do. Tip The slower you go when training your abs, the more you will feel the burn, and the stronger you'll become.
