The one thing everyone wants is the same thing many struggle with: fabulous abdominals. When hundreds of crunches at the gym everyday haven’t helped to flatten your stomach as much as you hoped, what is left?
To get you started on the path to stomach nirvana, consider the following:
1. What exactly are you eating?
Diet is the single most important factor that may be threatening your goal. Since fat collects in your stomach and hips first, embark on a healthy eating plan.
2. Are you gene challenged?
It’s hard to win against Mother Nature, so you may have to work extra hard to lose weight in the middle. Rather than change the impossible, strengthen those trouble spots, firm up what you’ve already got. You’ll see an improvement.
3. How tight are you jeans?
A dropping waistline and slimmer fit jeans produce a nasty side effect: the bulge and a little line above it. Next time you work out, wear loose pants or shorts and keep them a little higher on your waist when you do crunches. And stop buying tighter than thou jeans, the weight has to go somewhere.

4. Have you been changing it up?
There are many abdominal exercises out there and it’s best to do them all, even in a single workout. Focus on your core (the transverse abdominal muscles – especially, and switch up the routine as much as you can. If you run out of ideas, hire a personal trainer for the latest core, ball and mat exercises.
5. Do you love your body?
The most important step in your weight-loss and tighten up program is to love every inch of your body. Acknowledge your flab abs and work to make them fabulous. Stress is debilitating so the more you fight it, the more it will reject what you’re trying to achieve. Your body has a mind of its own.
Remember, inner beauty is a powerful tool, so be comfortable in your skin. Confidence is the sexiest secret of all.
