LONG BEACH, CA. 04/10/13 John Garey demonstrates 5 different exercises at his studio in Long Beach. — Medicine ball slam is very effective in building a flat stomach

#4 Squat

The squat not only targets the abdomen muscles but also targets the entire lower body for an enhanced posture and improved endurance. Body weight alone would do while performing a basic squat most of the times. However, one could even try working with a barbell or dumbbells for added resistance and improved customizability.

Instructions

Step 1: Stand straight with feet positioned at a distance that is equal to the width of the shoulder. Extend the arms in front of the face and keep them parallel to the floor.

Step 2: Push the hips backwards and slowly move the knees downwards such that the hamstrings are parallel to the floor.

Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the starting position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.

Important tip: Hold your abdomen muscles while squatting for a more targeted response. This would largely improve the chances of a tighter and a flatter stomach.

Next up: Mountain Climber.
