Stomach Exercises For Women

In order to get a flat tummy, exercises designed specifically for women will focus on tightening the stomach muscles. Some of these exercises can even be done while doing housework.
By standing with your legs slightly apart, bring your right knee up to touch your left elbow and visa versa. Start out at ten a day, five on each side, and gradually build up until you can do this exercise for ten minutes straight.

Lay on flat on your back with your arms flat at your sides. Point your toes outward and slowly lift both of your legs up until they are pointing at the ceiling. Hold for the count of five, then slowly lower them, stopping once or twice while holding them in place, until they are flat on the floor. Try to start out doing just a couple of these a day and build up endurance.

Anytime during the day, squeeze and hold your stomach in for a few seconds at least ten times a day, while walking or sitting. This exercise is similar to the Kegel exercise, which can also be performed at the same time.

Crunches and sit ups are a great way to tighten up those stomach muscles. Lay flat on your back which your hands behind your neck. Bring your elbows up to your knees, make your knees and elbows meet each other or lift your elbows and knees without them touching. This can also be done by touching your right elbow to your left knee and visa versa.
There are several additional exercises to help women tighten up their stomach, but the stomach exercises for women that are listed above is a good place to start.
