The best exercises for a flat and firm belly

Special abdominal exercises exist: But which are really good? With the classics like sit-ups and crunches, nothing wrong her. The powerful muscles in any case. They are even more effective when you use them with aids such as a gymnastics ball or a chair.
In addition to the classical abdominal exercises, fitness experts are increasingly focusing on holding exercises, which are particularly good for the lower abdominal muscles. These abdominal exercises come from the Pilates and quickly show great success.

1. Upper abdomen muscles

Here's how:

The hands lend her lightly to the back of her head. Tense your belly now and lift the upper body slowly - only with the force of the abdominal muscles - in two steps, so that your shoulders lift off the ground. 
Your gaze is directed upwards, so that you have some distance between your chin and your chest . Breathe when coming up. Do not help with the hands on the head. If this is difficult, cross your arms over your chest. Then lower again in two steps but do not place the shoulder blades completely on the ground. 20 reps, then make a short break and make two more sets.
Tip: Advanced come up and fight at the highest point three seconds the air before they lower the shoulders back.

2. Lateral abdominal muscles

Here's how:
Place yourself sideways on a mat. The legs are slightly angled at the bottom, which provides more stability.
Your upper hand is slightly on the back of your head. The lower arm is slightly angled. Tightens the abdomen and lifts the upper body so that the lower shoulder rises slightly from the ground. The lower arm is here your support, stand before you "pull" you with this arm on an invisible rope upwards. Lower the upper body, but do not remove it. Repeat the exercise 15 times. Short pause, then two sentences and repeat everything on the other side.

Tip: It will be even more stressful if you additionally lift your legs a few centimeters from the ground. Like folding knives, only on the side.

3. Side-plank for the waist

How it goes:
Go to the so-called Side-Plank: Just lie on the right side, support yourself on the right arm, so that this is stretched. The body forms a straight line. Hold for 15 seconds, then lower the body. Short pause, then two sentences and repeat on the left side.

The first comment that followed on my posting was the demand as I create the time because and if I use apps like  Blinkist  .  For all those who do not know Blinkist: This app is an app that summarizes more than 1,500 technical books in short texts.  For the reading of these texts one does not usually need more than 15 minutes.  You can also listen to them.
