There are tens of abdominal exercises that you could potentially include in your abdominal workouts and training programme, but these, in my opinion, are two of the most important ones. Combined, they exercise all four parts of the abdominals to ensure a more toned abdominal area. The two abdominal exercises are called straight legged toe touches and sit up twists and both are easy to learn and even easier to implement by following the instructions in this article.

Exercise Number 1 – Straight Legged Toe Touches
Muscles worked – Lower, Middle and Upper Abdominals
Details – Lay on the floor (preferably on an exercise mat) with your legs stretched out and together pointing into the air. Your legs and your abdomen should be at right angles to each other. Your head and neck should be slightly lifted off the ground and your shoulders should also be very slightly elevated. Place your arms together and in front of you with your fingers pointing towards your toes.

Reach for your toes as far as you can. This will contract the abdominals. Also, lift your head, neck and shoulders off the floor and breathe out as you reach up with your arms and contract your abdominals. Crunch up as far as is comfortable and bear in mind that reaching your toes is an unrealistic target.

Gradually lower your body back to its original position. This will relax the abdominals. Breathe out as you lower your body. Relax for a second or two and repeat the process.

Exercise Number 2 – Sit up Twists
Muscles Worked – Upper, Middle, Lower Abdominals and the Obliques (sides of the abdominals) Details – Lay on the floor with feet flat on the floor and legs slightly bent. Place your right hand on your right temple and your left hand on your left temple. Raise your back up towards your knees and when you reach as far as your feel comfortable. Twist your right elbow to touch your left knee and then your left elbow to touch your right knee.

Relax your torso back to the ground, keeping your hands on your temples. Rest for one or two seconds and repeat the process. Remember to breathe in as you lift your torso and out as you relax it back to its initial position.

The twists you perform in this action help to exercise the obliques which give a more toned overall composition of your abdominal muscles.

If you don’t currently have these two abdominal exercises included in your abdominal workouts, then you must incorporate them now and I’m sure you will notice the difference in no time at all and shed the excess abdominal fat quicker than ever.

Most women are concerned with reshaping their newly formed ‘pooch’ after delivery. You know the sagging area of skin that used to resemble your stomach?

The good news is you can restore your abdomen to its pre-pregnancy luster, or at least a semblance thereof. It will take a lot of hard work however on your part.

Before you start exercising your abdomen however, it is important that you check for a separation or gap in your stomach muscles. Some women develop a gap in their stomach muscles as a result of the expansion that occurs during pregnancy and labor. It can take anywhere from four to eight weeks for this gap to close.

If you attempt to perform strenuous abdominal exercises prior to this, you may permanently injure your abdomen. So be sure to check before you engage in any stomach exercises.

Here’s how:

- Life flat on your back.

- Bend your knees.

- Place the fingers of your left hand palm facing you above your belly button.

- Upon exhaling, lift your head and shoulders off the floor while sliding your right hand up your thigh toward your knee.

Feel your abdominal muscles tighten. As you do so, check for a gap between the edges of the muscle. If you have a gap that is more than two or three finger widths, you should perform only moderate exercise.

The gap will eventually narrow to one inch or so, and at this point you can typically safely perform crunches with no adverse effects. If you are having difficulty assessing whether or not your abdomen has a gap, ask your healthcare provider to point it out to you. This is actually a physical condition referred to as diastasis recti (but no need to get technical here!).

Below you’ll find some of the best exercises for restoring shape and flexibility to your stomach muscles:

Leg Slide This exercise can generally be started during the first month post partum. You can do it while sitting on the floor watching your baby.

- Lie on your back with knees bent.

- Tighten your stomach muscles while pressing the small of your back against the floor, exhaling as you do so.

- Slide both your legs apart, so that they are moving away from your body. At the same time, keep your back flat on the floor.

- Return your legs to the start position when your back starts to arch.

- Repeat 5-10 times.

It is important that you pay close attention to your breathing during the leg slide, and tighten your stomach muscles before your slide your legs away from your body. Also pay attention to be sure the small of your back is pressed against the ground.

Pelvic Tilt This is a great exercise for toning and strengthening the stomach, and can be started shortly after delivery.

- Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

- Inhale while allowing your abdomen to expand.

- Upon exhaling lift your tailbone toward your belly button, while keeping your hips on the floor.

- At the very top of the tilt squeeze and tighten your buttocks for five seconds, then slowly release.

- Repeat.

Standing Pelvic Tilts A variation of the traditional pelvic tilt, you can accomplish this exercise anywhere even on the go!

- Stand with your knees bend and legs hip-width apart.

- Place your hands on your upper thighs while resting your upper body weight on your arms.

- Stick your buttocks out just enough to flatten your back.

- Inhale, and then as you exhale pull your pubic bone toward your navel, pointing the tailbone downward.

- Repeat to a flat back position.

Head Lifts Consider this exercise a sort of ‘mini’ crunch that you can try if your abdomen is still healing from the trauma of birth.

- Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

- Be sure your back is pressed to the floor.

- Lift your head off the floor and bring your chin toward your chest.

- Hold this position and then return to start.

Seated Lat Rows This exercise actually works to tone the upper arms and back. It is important that you establish balance in your exercise routine. By working out your back muscles in particular, you’ll provide extra support for your abdomen. For this exercise you’ll need either two light dumbbells or milk containers filled with water.

- Sit on the edge of a chair.

- Bend knees and keep feet flat on floor.

- Place dumbbells or milk cartons by your feet.

- Bend forward and bring your chest to your thighs, while keeping your back flat.

- Hold one milk carton or dumbbell in each hand, allowing arms to hang down with palms facing one another.

- Bend your elbows and bring them up toward your shoulders.

Straighten arms, repeat 5-10 times.

Push – Ups Push ups can be done at any time, even during the first couple of weeks if you are feeling strong enough. Push ups are a great way to help strengthen your upper body, which will need to be strong to carry baby around.

What’s interesting about weight loss is that many people
think that it’s just a process that begins when you make
changes to lose weight and ends when you’ve lost all the
weight.

However, if you’re not continuing with the changes that
you’ve made, you might find yourself back at the original
weight that you were.  Instead of going up and down on the
scale, here are ten secrets that you can use to keep your
slim figure.

- Weight training works – Studies have shown that people
that have more muscle mass will burn more calories, even at
rest.  Because of this fact, you will want to incorporate
some weight training into you maintenance plan so that as
you increase your calorie intake, you’re able to burn them
off without any gain.

- Food journaling – When you write down what you eat, you
will be able to control the amount of food that you are
eating.  Even if you only write down your food intake for a
few days a week, keeping an eye on how you’re eating can
help alert you of problems before they become pounds.

- Daily exercise – When you want to keep the weight off,
exercise will need to become a part of your life.  However,
this doesn’t mean that you need to workout for hours each
day.  Try to fit in thirty to sixty minutes of exercise
each day to keep extra weight at bay.

- Allow yourself treats – Life isn’t about deprivation, so
neither should your new figure.  When you’ve lost weight,
you have learned about how much you needed to eat in order
to cut back on calories.  Once you’ve learned this, you can
also learn to have a treat every now and then, enjoying it
instead of overindulging in it.

- Look at making changes rather than dieting – When you’re
looking to lose weight, the ‘sprint’ approach isn’t going
to be a long term fix.  You need to permanently change your
eating habits in order to ensure that your weight stays at
its new position.

- Learn to make favorite recipes healthier – If you have a
favorite cheesecake recipe; why not learn how to make it
lower in fat and sugar?  This way, you can still enjoy the
foods you love.

- Get support – You don’t have to join a weight loss club
to do this, but telling your friends and family about your
goals can help to get everyone into supporting your
efforts.  When you do this, people will start to recognize
that family gatherings should have healthy options as well
as not always revolve around food.

- Keep the stress away – Many people eat when they are
stressed, but when you’ve lost weight, you want to avoid
this kind of trigger.  Instead, figure out ways that help
you deal with stress.  What can you do instead of eating to
help calm down and relax?

- Watch your weight – Studies have shown that those that
regularly monitor their weight tend to keep off weight
better than those that don’t.  You don’t have to get on the
scale every day, but weighing in once a week can help alert
you to when you might need to rethink that second slice of
pie.

- Recognize a slip up and forgive yourself – When you start
to get angry about mistakes, you can backslide into old
eating habits.  You will have times when eating right will
be more difficult, but you will persevere. Remeber that eating is
80% of the solution to losing weight!

Acknowledge that you made a poor eating choice (or several)
and then forgive yourself and eat better at the next meal.
There’s no need to punish your self.

Keeping the weight off can actually be more difficult than
losing it in the first place, but when you’re committed to
keeping trim, these tips will make sure that you do.

About the Author:

Lynn VanDyke has authored the wildly popular ebook, Melt the Fat. It is yielded as one of the
best fitness and nutrition ebooks available.

This probably isn’t the first time you have started reading a weight loss article with the hopes of finding a new training idea or totally secret fat busting strategy. I can sympathize. I’ve seen clients spend months on routines and techniques that were just the flavor of the month that got some press. Its alright though, your about to learn some real solid advice that’s free of charge and will serve you well on your quest to getting in shape.

The first secret of getting in shape and losing some weight is to make sure you know what you are doing! Make sure you have the proper information that you need to help speed you toward your specific goal. Make sure you know how to eat properly and train correctly to get that result you desire. Power lifters eat and train differently than fitness models and you should know the differences. The best way to acquire this knowledge is through articles like this as well as mimicking. Find an expert in the area you wish to excel in and then follow their advice. While this can back fire sometimes, it is still the surest bet to success.

The second step to success on your weight loss journey is to make sure you can quantify your success. In other words, know when you have achieved your weight loss goal. Make sure you can measure it! Then once you know your weight loss goal and how to measure it, you need to make a map to getting there.

If you have a child, then you know the importance of directions and sticking to a plan. If you are walking to the store that is 10 minutes down the road, this trip could easily turn into an hour if you didn’t step in with directions every now and then. You can picture it cant you? Walking along, then there is a butterfly, then a cool rock and look, a swing set! Sometimes to get things done in an efficient manner, you need to know what you are trying to accomplish and how you plan to get there. If you don’t, it could take you forever.

In the number three spot of weight loss secrets, we have self-confidence and belief. Go ahead and tell me you can’t lose weight. Go ahead! Done? Good, now this is where I tell you that you are absolutely correct. Shocking isn’t it? Cant is a word that makes you sit there defeated. Nothing gets done in a defeated state! Its actually better to get angry than defeated, because then at least you are spurred to action. Trying is better than “Canting”. Here is the big mind smack though; belief is so strong that hypnotized people that have an ice cube put on them but are told that it is a hot coal, will develop a blister.

Sometimes you just have to fake it until you make it. Fake that you believe in yourself until the concept doesn’t seem so foreign that maybe it will become true for you. The fact of the matter is that you should believe in yourself because with proper knowledge and dedication, everyone can achieve their weight loss goals.

If you have been reading this far then the number four secret of weight loss success is very, very important. Are you ready for it? Here it is; Stop listening to every piece of advice you get! This seems kind of ironic since here I am giving you more advice, but it is still true. Nothing can short circuit your forward momentum like a piece of advice that is the opposite of what you have been doing. It rocks your world! This can be good if you were just shooting in the dark hoping for the best, but if you have a solid weight loss plan that you were given by a solid source and then get messed up by Joe the local gym expert, you’re sunk. Make sure that you are confident in your information source right from the beginning and then resolve to stick with that information. A lot of different methods will work to achieve weight loss, but these methods usually work as a system. Therefore, if you jump from system to system, you will not get the benefits from any given weight loss system.

We are almost at the end of our weight loss secrets for today. Of course there are more weight loss tips and tricks, but five is about right for a weight loss knowledge snack. So onto the number five secret to losing weight; Don’t overdo it. Simple huh? Think about the number of times you have started off with both guns blazing and then ran out of ammunition. I know, I do this for a living. What happens is that most people figure they are going to lose 30 pounds in 30 days and they are going to kick butt to do it. So they start off all fired up, get real sore, their immune system crashes, they get sick and then they give up. Wow, that was like I had a camera following you, scary. Its just that it happens to a lot of weight loss hopefuls.

So how do you avoid revving the engine and running out of gas? You avoid rapid starts and stops. Ease onto the gas, and maintain steady pressure. You only need to do resistance training a couple of times a week along with 3-4 cardio sessions to realize your weight loss success. Don’t rush the cookies! You can’t crank the stove to 600 degrees and get home made cookies in 3 minutes. They will burn. You’ll burn out too if you rush your way to losing weight.

Here is the recap to weight loss success. Get the information you need to achieve your desired goal that you have picked out. Make a plan with success markers along the way and believe every step of the way that you are going to lose the weight this time. Fake it until you make it. Never let anyone shake you confidence with bogus advice and remember to slow bake your cookies!
 

I don’t make a lot of money, but I am needing help with my weight loss.  I’ve already lost 120 pounds last year and initially it was near 150 pounds, but gained a little.  I am frustrated with how things are going now because I can’t seem to get my body to lose weight.  I am in the 220-230 range and used to weigh 350 pounds.

 
 I do look different, but not happy still being a plus size, albeit, I look totally different.  I still have weight to lose and need help and motivation.  I keep waiting for something that’s not happening.  I had gone on a liquid protein diet for a year or over a year and didn’t eat solid food.  In that year I lost a lot of weight and also exercised vigorously. 

 
Now, I want the physique of a bodybuilder, but don’t know how to get it.  Don’t really know what to do or if it’s possible.  When I step out of the shower, I am reminded of my weight loss and how much I still want to lose.  I want to get that giggly stuff off of me and be the size I know is under there.  Can you help me? 

 
I saw that your ebook FAT TO FIT is 35 dollars, but how much is it to get the help being a supporter and a personal trainer?  I just don’t have a lot of money to work with.  All I know is that I didn’t come this far to be a borderline plus size.  What really hurt was gaining a little back and that was because I backed off of exercise initially.

 
 I’m back at it again, but I’m not totally committed and consistent. I want to work with weights, but feel intimidated in the gym, seeing strange people and a room full of equipment that I don’t know completely how to use.  I want to have the physique of a bodybuilder – a female feminine bodybuilder, not a man-ish looking woman at all.  My arms are still fat (my uppers) and well, I carried a lot of weight for a long time, but things seemed to go back into place, just a flabby mess and still got 50-70 pounds to lose.  It’s hard to face, but I’ve faced it- it hurts, but I’m not done losing weight.  If I had not backed off the exercise, I would no doubt have already reached my goal weight of 150 pounds.  I need so desperately to get there because that is where I know the true me really is. 

 
Even though I’ve been complimented and told I’m pretty and look so good now, I’m not happy with this result.  I know I need to lose more.  I want a flat stomach and the things I was cheated out of physically, like having a slender body.  I know it will take work and I’m ready for it, but I realized that having guidance and motivation from someone knowledgeable would certainly rekindle that fire within that enabled me to keep the determination to lose all that weight, in light of the severe difficulties that I had to overcome.  Is it possible to achieve what I’m wanting?  Thank you in advance of your reply,

 
Sincerely, Heidi

 
Answer: It is always possible to achieve a goal. Some goals take longer than others to achieve that’s all. You have already lost 120 pounds, that means you know you can do it. Now you just need to lose another 80 and you will have achieved your goal.

 
I can tell you one thing for certain. The next eighty will be easier if you are not on an all liquid protein diet. This is a terrible way to struggle through weight loss. My hat goes off to you for how hard that must have been. To tell you the truth, it’s a miracle you didn’t give up sooner.

 
I had to say that because if you want to do it properly with out the torture, you can eat good meals, work out normally and still lose 2 pounds a week. This means that if you start now, in ten months or August 5^th 2007, you will be 150 pounds. That is the honest to goodness truth. There is no reason under the sun that I know of that can keep you from this goal other than you simply not trying or not having the proper information.

 
You asked about the cost of the extra support from a personal trainer. There is none. As long as you are willing to wait a day or two for me to get through questions from other people, I will answer your question. Its free because this is what I do. People buy my book and then I walk them through it. There may be a day when I cant keep up with the mail, but I will let everyone know that now it may take a week or two for me to get back to them. That’s all.

 
I hope this helps you Heidi. Follow your dreams and know that making a choice involves taking action. Let me know if I can help further.

How do I make time for a weight loss program when my life is so busy?
Answer: http://sixpackabdominals.com/?p=4

Will bodyweight exercises plus running be enough to lose the cellulite on my body?

Answer: Yes. If you follow a well-rounded bodyweight exercises program you will take care of the resistance training that is necessary to improve shape and increase your metabolism.

The running will take care of the cardiovascular component that is need for heart health and immediate calorie burning. This burning of calories will help with the overall calorie deficit allowing you to tap into your fat stores and lose the cellulite.

I would also include some stretching exercises to make sure you stay flexible and functional. Yoga is a very good combination of all these components but I would still do the extra cardio.  

Dennis Johns says on September 25th, 2006 at 9:27 pm
 
How do I ‘create a deficit’ with a mixture of weight training and cardio to lose weight and not burn muscle instead of fat?

Answer: Resistance training IS the way to burn fat instead of muscle while in a calorie deficit. Your body follows a principle that has the acronym S.A.I.D. This is the principle of Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. What this means is that if you are constantly putting demands on your body that require muscle to be there, then your body will do whatever it takes to keep it. This includes burning fat before muscle.

Along with lifting as heavy as your limits allow, you can also tweak the fashion in which you do your cardio to be conducive to maintaining muscle. You do this by doing high intensity interval cardio training. Interval training like wind sprints and hill intervals for 20-30 minutes as opposed to longer 45-60 minute slower cardio sessions. These slower cardio sessions encourage the output of catabolic hormones that will eat up muscle tissue. Sprints on the other hand encourage anabolic hormones and can increase levels of testosterone and growth hormone in the body. This makes you look, feel and act younger in a round about process.

Got any advice on loosing the ‘beer belly’ before I try to develop my abs?

Answer: Read through www.buildingbodies.ca I have spent over 5 years putting all those exercise and fitness articles on there. As well, when you still need to cover the basics of training programs and fat loss it is best to follow a guideline book. This is exactly why I wrote FAT TO FIT. This book is my experience and advice on training to loss weight and get in shape.

But to give a concise answer; Do cardio at least 5 times a week, follow a balanced resistance training program and eat like wrappers were never invented.

How long do you think it is safe to stay on a 3:1 carb cycling diet (zigzag, 3 day low carb, 1 day high carb)?

Answer: Forever or as long as your brain can handle it. This is exactly the way I was taught to diet by the International Sports Science Association and it is always how I have structured my plans.

However the zigzag doesn’t just apply to carbohydrates. You can play with protein and fats or simply overall calories as well. This is a great method for creating calorie deficits without impacting your overall metabolism.

Leon says September 26th, 2006 at 3:41 am
 
Do I need to train my ABS every day( Mon- Fri) ,for fast and better results?

Answer: No. Your ABS are just like any other muscle and need to be rested. They are however more slow twitch and recover faster than say legs. So if you do want to train abs every day (which is not recommended) because you like to put them in a circuit or something of the sort, then do not train them hard enough to reach failure.

If by faster and better results you mean being able to see them, then you need to lose more fat and should be spending that ab training time on cardio, circuit training or meal preparation.

How good is hydroxycat in weight lose , and how fast start to indicate in fat burnin???

Answer: The quality of results you receive in life is in direct correlation with the quality of your questions.

It could possibly HELP. I say this in the frame of mind that anything that doesn’t stop you from burning fat COULD HELP you burn fat. The answer to weight loss and a six pack that stays year round for life cannot be found in a pill.

Anna says September 26th, 2006 at 7:31 am
 
Why does my body refuse to lose weight when I have dieted & gone to the gym regularly?

Answer: First you need to go to the doctor and make sure that everything is running properly with your body. If everything is working and your hormones are all in balance then what I say next may come as a jolt.

If your body is running correctly and you are not losing weight, you are doing something wrong with your program. I have to stress here that what some people consider to be working out or even eating properly, is in fact not.

Three things need to be checked on either through your own research or by seeking the help of a professional in fitness and nutrition. You need to revamp your workout or the intensity given to it. You need to change your eating, this could be a very subtle or massive change. You need to check how many calories you burn during cardio.
 
Somewhere in the week you need to burn through or create a deficit of 3500 calories just to burn off ONE POUND. If you do not know the calories ingested daily or what you burn off during cardio then this would be the best place to start.

How would you set up a training and eating program to maximize muscle gain while at the same time reduce fat if all training can only be done first thing in the morning ? Allow 1 hour max between the time of rise to start of training and training session duration no more than 75-90minutes max.)

Answer: Does all training have to be done in the morning? No. Is it the most hormonally favorable time of the day? Yes. I say so what.

It sounds a lot like analysis paralysis to me. This is where you cant get anything done because you try to do everything perfectly. I can tell you from experience that you will only enjoy and stick with your training for life if you make it fit your lifestyle.

Wake up, have a light breakfast and go train. Its that simple. How about, go to work, hit the gym on the way home and then have supper with the family? What about, go to work, do a $100,000 business deal by the squat rack and build killer quads at the same time?

You have to flow with it. Life curves man!

Nice questions everyone, keep asking and I’ll keep answering.

Question: How do I make time for a weight loss program when my life is so busy?

  

Answer: We can make time for anything that is a priority. If you are late for work and are running around the house trying to find your keys and really, really, really need to use the washroom you are going to make time to do it.

  

Basically if you want time to devote to your weight loss program then you are going to have to make that time. There will always be things that will want to slide in and gobble up your time. TV is probably the worst; people with no respect for your time are probably second. I frequently hear my clients say that they were planning to get on the treadmill at home or were heading to the gym but their spouse came home late. Or their spouse needed to have super on the table.

  

There are times in your life where you are going to have to come first. Sometimes that requires getting up early before everyone else and sometimes it requires that you put your foot down and say that from 5-6PM every second day is YOU time. No exceptions.

  

If you are scared to say this sort of thing or couldn’t imagine being so selfish, then I can hear the smacking jaws of emotional issues eating at you on the insides. Let me ask you a question to show you how important it is to make time for yourself and your weight loss program. Here it goes; “When are you most likely to happily share your last bit of chocolate cake with someone?” The answer? WHEN YOU ARE FULL.

  

When you are full and happy inside is when you have the most to offer other people. In fact sometimes making time for yourself is the best way to make sure you can give the most to the people around you. If you are still hungry, even sharing the smallest bit will fill you with resent towards the person that wants what you have.

  

So how do you make time for a weight loss program when your life is so busy? You take it. You take care of yourself, and organize your priorities so that you will have more to give in the long run. This is what we mean when we say that your health is your greatest investment and that you shouldn’t spend half your life chasing wealth and then the second half spending your wealth to regain your health.

  

Hope that helps Kelsy,
