Learn how you can burn fat and lose belly fat with these abdominal exercises for flat abs in weeks
It's simple: To show off your abs, you have to burn fat. To burn fat, you have to stoke your metabolism by building muscle. Replacing just 1 pound of fat with muscle will force your body to fry up to an additional 50 calories a day. These straightforward moves work major muscle groups--with an emphasis on your midsection--without adding bulk. Check out all of the Women's Health Downloadable Exercises for women.
Do this abs workout three times a week. Complete 1 set of each ab exercise (designed to work key regions of your core: upper abs, lower abs, obliques, and lower back), then do the rest of the circuit twice. On other days, do light cardio like swimming, walking, or cycling. Make sure you take 1 day completely off. Find a weight you're comfortable lifting--not too easy, but not one that tortures your body either. And get pumped! You'll be in Tiny Town in no time.
