Are there flat tummy exercises that are the best for great female abs? Abs-olutely! To make this list, the female abs exercises must be safe, effective and can be done nearly anywhere. Your abs can be worked out every day. Here are great flat tummy exercises:

1. Tummy Isometric Crunch - exhale, then suck in your stomach as far as you can, hold for about 15 seconds. Relax and breathe. Visualize moving your bellybutton straight toward your back. Holding in your tummy muscles and tensing your abs is a good way of firming and strengthening them. You will also become more aware of how to control your tummy muscles. Repeat several times. This exercise can be done anywhere, anytime.

Note - if you have high blood pressure, do not hold your breath for extended periods of time.

2. Rectus Abdominis Tummy Exercises (doesn't that sound great?):

a. Lie on your back on the floor with bent knees and your feet flat on the floor, knees and feet spread apart the width of your hips.
b. Place your hands gently on the sides of your head for support, spreading your elbows so you cannot see them.
c. With your chin tucked toward your chest, gently curl upward and forward so that your head, neck and shoulder blades lift off the floor and your lower back presses against the floor (if you want, start with your head resting on a pillow which has your head and neck in the correct position to begin).
d. Pause just a moment, then gently return to the starting position.
e. Repeat several times.

Note - do not use your arms to complete the curl. If you can see your elbows, you're cheating. Do not put your feet under anything since this lessens the effectiveness of these types of flat tummy exercises. If this female abs exercise is too difficult for you, do the next one below.

3. Sit-Back Flat Tummy Exercises - if your female abs muscles are weak and you have trouble lifting yourself off the floor in #2 above, here is an alternate flat tummy exercise for you:

a. Start in a sitting position on the floor with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor (secure your feet under a piece of furniture).
b. Cross your arms over your chest and roll your head and shoulders forward toward your chest.
c. Gently and slowly lean back, keeping your head and shoulders tucked. Continue until you begin to feel your stomach muscles contracting.
d. Then try to lean back just a bit more if you can and hold that position until your muscles start shaking. Try to hold this position with your muscles shaking for five seconds, then ease back to the upright sitting position.
e. Repeat in a few seconds.

4. Reducing Chewing Exercises - yes, as in jaw muscles used for excessive chewing as in overeating. Reducing overeating or exercising those jaw muscles less may be necessary to have great female abs. No one can see your great female abs if they are covered with body fat! Having great female abs may require losing some body fat. Losing body fat means:

a. Cardio exercise on a regular basis - getting the heartbeat up with fun whole-body workouts several times a week.
b. Healthy eating habits - eating healthy foods, eliminating sodas/junk food and taking in fewer calories than you burn each day.
c. Besides flat tummy exercises, strength training for the whole body - any muscle tissue you add will burn extra calories 24/7.

Besides looking great, having great female abs is about good health. Visually and physically, the midsection is the center of the body and the foundation of strength. Weak abdominals leave a woman weaker looking and vulnerable to lower back pain. At first, the goal is to build up the basic strength in the female abs area with flat tummy exercises. And remember, always check with your health care provider before starting any exercise program. Start out slowly and gradually build up your strength and repetitions.

For great abs and good health, th

Abdominal crunches, sit ups, and variations in these are excellent way to tone the tummy. But for best results don’t forget to take care of your diet.

well marvin:
The best tummy exercises are - simply put - the ones that you actually enjoy doing. When you enjoy something, you do it frequently enough to see real results fast! Most people make the mistake of following the advice of a fitness "expert" from a magazine/book/
video/etc. and assaulting their ab muscles with set after grueling set of tummy exercises for the upper abs, lower abs, middle abs, obliques, inside-out abs, upside down abs.....well, you get the picture.

It's no wonder that, after a few weeks of this, most people give up on their quest for a leaner midsection! You simply won't continue to do something that you don't enjoy...


Enjoyable Tummy Exercises

In reality, lots of different types of exercises and activities strengthen and flatten the tummy. And many involve little or no typical 'ab work' or tummy exercises. Did you know that many fitness models and bodybuilders do almost no direct abdominal training? The reason is because, when performed properly, almost every weight-bearing exercise you do involves the muscles of the stomach and lower back - the 'core muscles' - to some degree (to stabilize the weight).

If you're already working out with weights or performing some form of strength training, there's a good chance your stomach muscles are already in decent shape. If your midsection looks flabby, your focus should be on burning off the layer of fat that is covering it, not working your abs. A combination of cardio exercise and strength training - combined with a healthy diet - is your best option. (See the Burn the Fat program to learn the most effective methods for shedding body fat quickly and safely.)

One form of tummy exercise that is gaining popularity rapidly - mainly because many people find it extremely enjoyable - is Pilates Method exercise. Pilates workouts basically involve a series of gentle but highly effective movements which are focused on stretching, strengthening, and 'lengthening' your muscles, especially the core muscles of the midsection. Some of the newer forms of Pilates - such as the very popular Winsor Pilates program - can even help you lose weight if done on a regular basis.
