Did you know that old fashion sit ups and crunches are not the best flatten tummy exercises? While you can get results doing endless sit ups, the strain on your back and neck make them dangerous and often difficult to do. Instead, try doing military leg lifts to start to lose belly fat and tone your abs into perfection. Learning new flatten tummy exercises can really keep you motivated and fresh during your workouts.

To do the leg lifts, complete the following steps.

1. Start out lying flat on your back, placing a small ball or other object under the back of your knees to have your legs slightly off the ground
2. Using your tummy muscles, and not your back muscles, slowly raise your legs off of the object and into the air to achieve a 45 degree angle. Hold this position for 10 seconds
3. To really get the benefit of this flatten tummy exercise, continue to contract your abdominal muscles while you slowly lower your legs back to the object on the ground
4. Take a 5 second breather, and repeat steps 1-3. A good idea is to do 3 sets of 10 repetitions each, breaking for 2 or 3 minutes between sets

Learning new and easier ways to perform these flatten tummy exercises can have you really starting to see results, without straining your back or neck doing endless sit ups. In this exercise, you are laser targeting just your abdominal section for maximum results. When used in combination with other fat burning workout programs, you will be well on your way to getting the firm mid section you desire.
