10 Minutes Workout for a Flat Stomach

Whether in the morning after getting up, before work, in the evening or in front of the TV – EVERYONE really has 10 minutes a day for a short abdominal workout!

The problem with classic abdominal exercises is often that they unfortunately only strengthen one-sided or superficial strength – without any depth effect. You can only get a really flat stomach if all of the surrounding muscles are trained. 10 minutes a day are completely sufficient. But only if you use this time as intensively as possible. We’ll show you which exercises can really help you get a flat stomach!

Abdominal exercises at home

Perform the abdominal exercises as sets, each with 12 repetitions. For example, one set of snap jumps, rest, another set, rest, another set (depending on your stamina). Then switch to the next exercise. It’s best to do the 10-minute workout four times a week. Don’t forget to watch your diet, too. Abdominal muscles are formed through exercise, but the most important factor is nutrition. This determines whether your six-pack is covered by a layer of fat or not.

Push-up squat jump:

Start position: Squat down and touch the floor with both hands.

Ironing board:

Start position: This position is very similar to the push-up position. The only difference between the two exercises is that your forearms touch the floor. Position your forearms parallel to your body so that they form a straight line with your body.

Jackknife on the exercise ball:

Start position: Place your lower shins on an exercise ball and assume a push-up position with your arms and legs extended.

• Then bring your legs back to the starting position.
