Ab exercises can help to tone and strengthen the stomach, but they won’t necessarily flatten the stomach. To get a flatter stomach, a combination of ab exercises, correct dieting, and regular cardiovascular exercises need to be performed.

The following are the top recommended exercises for flattening the stomach:

The Reverse Crunch

The reverse crunch works the lower abs.

Bent-Elbow Plank

This exercise works the entire core. For beginners, these exercises can last for five seconds per set, with the goal of eventually being able to hod the position for 90 seconds without a break.

Bicycle Ab Exercise

This exercise works the obliques and the lower abs.

Standard Crunches

Standard crunches are good exercises to work the upper abs.

Like with any workout program, make sure to check with a doctor prior to starting.
