The good news is that there are, of course, stomach exercises to speed along the process. I personally like this practical advice written in a self improvement site but there are other exercises, which are good specifically for reducing the size of that tummy. These are meant for beginners, so give them a try if you are just starting out. Once you have mastered these, feel free to advance to something more challenging. When doing these exercises, it is important to move slowly so as to maintain control and not allow momentum to take over.
As with any workout routine, be sure to consult a professional before beginning and always warm up properly to avoid injury.
Vertical Leg Crunch
Lie on your back on a flat surface, such as the floor. Use a mat or towel to cushion your spine. The traditional way of doing crunches and sit ups is to put one’s hand behind his head with elbows out far enough that they are out of sight. I don’t recommend that for it creates a tendency for people to pull on their necks (especially when they are tired already). My recommendation is to just clip your right elbow into your side and put your right fist in your left chest. Also do this with your left and your hands will resembling a letter “X”, in front of you.
Now lift your legs straight up into the air, crossing your ankles and bending your knees slightly. Contract your abdomen and lift your shoulders, head and upper back up to about a thirty degree angle. Be conscious not to lift with your hands or leading with your head.
Hip Lift
You will need to stay on your back for this stomach exercise. Use a mat or towel to cushion your spine. Put your arms at your sides with palms facing up to the ceiling. Put your legs straight up in the air so that the soles of your feet are facing the ceiling and your legs make about a ninety degree angle with your torso. Keep your knees unbent and as straight as possible. Now, contract your ab muscles so that it feels like your belly button is being pulled toward your spine, while at the same time gently lifting your hips off the floor. Raise your hips to height of a few inches, keeping your legs extended straight upward. Hold this position, then slowly lower your hips back to the floor. Repeat for an entire set.
Long Arm Crunch
For this stomach exercise, remain on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Lie back and extend your arms straight back on the floor as though you are reaching above your head. Contract your abs and slowly lift your arms, head and shoulders off the floor to about a thirty degree angle. Hold it, then slowly lower your shoulders back to the floor. Repeat for an entire set. Be careful not to lead with your arms, keeping them straight and alongside your head.
