How can I get a flat belly?



Check these out, too...

I've had a flabby stomach for a while and I want to have a flat belly. Do you have any tips to help me slim my belly a bit?

 
Hey girl,

 

Most people don't have totally flat stomachs—having some flab there is pretty normal. But if you want to drop some of it, the best way to do that is to take care of your body by eating well and exercising. To eat well, you don't have to cut out every sweet treat, but trading sugary soda for water and fast food for veggies and lean meats can make a huge difference. 

 

One exercise I really like that works out your abs is “bicycling.” You lay on the floor on your back with your hands behind your head and bring your knees up to about a 45 degree angle. Bring your right knee toward your chest and your left elbow toward your right knee, then switch sides, mimicking pedaling a bike. You can speed it up or slow it down for more of a burn.  

 

Xoxo,

Alissa

The soda to water change is really hard at first, but at least cut back to where you end up just drinking water and milk. After awhile you don't really notice that you are w/out flavored drinks at all!

MOD MOD MOD please!
I have some flab on my tummy too, and this really helped! But my mom said that once I get my period, it'll help me sorta slim down. Is this true? Also, my mom got her period when she was 10. I'm 12 now and period-free. When should I be expecting mine?
Thanks!




Hey girlie,

We all get our periods at different times, so don't worry about when you will get yours--it will come!  Also, just be concerned with eating a healthy and balanced diet and doing some regular exercise--you'll feel good about your body and confident enough to not worry about any flab!

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
