One of the most common questions I get is

What exercises can i do to flatten my stomach?

Everyone's first thought is to do more ab exercises like crunches and sit-ups.

Well, sorry to burst your bubble, this will actually increase your waist size over time

Your abs are like every other muscle, if you train them with progressive overload they will bulk up.

Which is the opposite of what we are trying to achieve.

My first tip is to start your lower calorie diet until your waist measurement reaches at least 50% of your height.

This is a great alternative to using the BMI index.

Once this is achieved you can keep leaning down to the point you are happy with how you look.

So in essence…

Lose more fat, follow a calorie controlled diet, do this consistently

Simple, not easy!

Hi, you can eat carbs at any time of the day it doesn’t matter. The most important factor is your total calorie intake at the end of the day
