Flat Belly Workouts - Flatten Your Abs With These 3 Powerful Exercises

Let me give you 3 powerful exercises that will help you to lose belly fat. They are probably not your typical workouts because they workout the body as a whole. The problem is that most people are doing target abs exercises with an intensity that is to low. With typical exercises such as crunches and sit-ups you will not burn belly fat and at the same time it can result in lower back pain. Enjoy the flat belly workouts and give them a place in your fitness workout programme.

Mountain climbers The mountain climbers workout does not only train your abs but also the calves, chests, triceps, back and shoulders.It is like climbing a mountain but then on a flat floor. Here is how to perform the exercise.

Standard mountain climbers

1) Start in a push-up position

2) Shuffle your feet in and out so that your knees are moving in under your chest.

3) Bring your feet back to starting position

Advanced mountain climbers

4) Shuffle your hands 8 to 10 inches forward and backward in addition to the leg movements. The advanced mountain climber workout is more difficult then the standard but it has a bigger fat burning effect. Think about it the higher the intensity of your workouts the more fat you will burn the sooner you will get your flat belly.

Renegade dumbbell rows Another great full body workout to flatten your abs is the renegade dumbbell rows.

1) Start in a push-up position and take a dumbbell in both hands.

2) Row one dumbbell up while stabilizing your body with the other arm.

3) Bring the dumbbell back to the ground

4) Alternate the rowing arm while stabilizing with the other arm.

Hill sprinting This is a very effective cardio exercise to burn belly fat fast. In fact hill sprinting is the best exercise to become very lean and strong. The hill sprinting workout is easy to follow but if you do the exercise actually you will feel it. Sprint to the top of the hill but descend the hill at moderate intensity.

Take these workouts serious because professional fitness models and trainers do use them to flatten their abs and get rid of stubborn body fat.
