Belly fats are very stubborn and are the last to go away when one loses weight. Because of that, the need to know which exercises actually work is very helpful to people wanting to keep their tummies flat. Bulging love handles are just not appealing to the eyes especially that they can precipitate to many illnesses. Studies have shown that visceral fats found in the abdomen give a person more risk to acquire cancer and diabetes. The need to exercise in order to keep the stomach at its best shape is vital for optimal health.

One has to remember that stomach exercises are only effective once enough fat has been shed off from cardio exercises. Even if you build your muscles in the stomach, if there are still too many fats to cover them, your goal to keep your stomach flat would be of no use. You should therefore incorporate abdominal exercises with cardio workouts like jogging or aerobics. Once your body loses weight, it is imperative to assume that you'll lose fats from your stomach too.

Here are three abdominal exercises good for beginners.

The first exercise is called the "thin stomach". It is more of a breathing exercise as you lie on your back and pull your belly button towards your spine by simply using your abdominal muscles. As you inhale, you do the pulling movement and hold it in for about 5 seconds. Release your pull afterwards. Repeat this ten times.

The second exercise is called the "basic partial situp exercise". You straighten one leg, bend the other, cross your arms on your chest, and then do a partial situp. By partial, you just have to raise your upper body by about 30 degrees for 2 seconds. You will feel the muscles on front of your stomach contract as you do this. Do this exercise five times and interchange your legs' position for another five times.

The third and last exercise is called the "basic side projection exercise". This exercise strengthens the muscles found on the lateral sides of the stomach. You kneel down the floor and bend over to either side such that your body rests while being raised by either elbow. Make sure that you stretch the side of your stomach as you raise your body with your elbow. Hold it for five seconds and release it. Do this five times and switch to the other side.

These abdominal exercises can truly shape your abdomen. If you want a flatter stomach, you might want to start putting in the needed effort now.
