Exercises for a flat belly

Want to know the best exercises for a toned and flat belly? Is it sit ups? No, it’s got to be crunches. Or, how about leg lifts?
While those are good exercises to strengthen your stomach muscles the problem is that they don’t do too much to reduce fat. And, too much fat around the midsection is most everybody’s problem when it comes to showing off a flat belly.
So, what are the best exercises then for a flat belly?
Well, this is going to sound surprising, but the best exercises are ones that work your arms and legs…and a few other muscle groups…including your core, or torso, which includes, yes, your belly. These are exercises like the bench press and the clean and jerk, squats and dead lifts. The reason that these exercises are so good is because they inadvertently work the core muscles of your back and belly. They also serve to increase your body’s metabolism so that you are burning more calories even when you are not working out.
Is that it? Just lifting weights? No cardio?
Well, certainly, do your cardio as well. But, no need to spend hours and hours running miles. What? You heard me. While running a mile does burn more calories than running ten 100 meter sprints, the sprints also serve to increase your resting metabolism rate just as the exercises above. Consequently, you are burning more calories throughout the day which, in time, will reveal your flat belly.
