One Little Known Trick To A Flatter Belly
The first thing that comes to mind when trying to achieve a flatter belly is endless amounts of cardio and dieting! But, there may be one little trick to a dramatically flatter stomach that doesn’t require watching your calories or intense sessions on the treadmill.
So, what is this little trick? It’s as simple as improving your posture! By merely sitting up straight, you can reduce the appearance of your belly since slouching over pushes your stomach out.
Posturing up also helps strengthen the muscles in your back, which in turn makes it easier retain correct posture and even breathe.
And if that isn’t enough, poor posture can lead to back pain, which makes it difficult to perform many stomach exercises. By correcting your posture, it may make it easier to work abdominal muscles and other parts of your body, as well.
To improve your posture you need to be aware of when you are actually slouching over. Sitting at a table or a computer desk are when we slouch over the most. If you spend long days at the office in front of a computer then you may be doing your posture more harm than good. Get up from your desk every hour or so and stretch. Plus, whenever you notice you are starting to slouch immediately straighten up.
A good exercise to perform daily is to lean your back up against a wall with your heels touching the wall. Suck your gut in so your lower back is up against the wall, as well. Now place your arms up against the wall with your triceps parallel to the floor and your hands pointing up toward the sky. Raise your arms up slowly without moving the rest of your body, and lower. Repeat 10 times. Those with bad posture will find it difficult to perform this exercise at first, but it will get easier as your posture improves.
