Stomach flab or bulginess is excess body fat that does not make you look attractive. Therefore, to get a flat tummy you need to reduce your body fat percentage. You can do that by including fat burning exercises in your fitness programme. According to our guest fitness writer, MONICA MWANGUPILI, here is a workout to help you achieve a flat tummy.

 

Remember that what you eat also plays a role in achieving a flat tummy, but that is a topic for another day.

 

Doing a hundred sit ups won’t give you a flat tummy. It will make you sore, instead.

 

Warm up

Walk or jog on the spot for 2 minutes

 

1. Jump squat

Stand with feet apart, knees slightly bent and hands lightly clasped at the back of your head. Jump up; do not move the hands from the back of your head (please do not strain the neck either). Repeat 10 to 15 times.
