Flat Stomach Exercise of the Week – Alternating Lunges
Get a tight toned butt in time for shorts season. Add this move to your workout and you’ll be feeling a burn in all the right places – making sure that your glutes, hamstrings, and quads look sleek and sexy no matter what you are wearing.
To make this move more challenging add weight – hold dumbbells in either hand – challenging your muscles to work a bit harder and therefore burning just a bit more fat. This will in turn increase your weight loss results.

Flat Stomach Exercise of the Week – EZ Bar Skull Crushers
When you read the title of this article I’m sure you’re thinking – what has she come up with next? I promise this exercise really won’t crush you in the head – its just a term to scare you away from it. This exercise is a great exercise for women to lift weights and will help you get tight, toned arms.
This week’s Flat Stomach Exercise of the Week for your Flat Stomach Workout helps us get rid of those flabby arms that nobody wants by focusing on our triceps.
Just in case you’re not quite sure – your triceps are located on the back of your arm. They connect your elbow and shoulder joints and help with movement of your arm. Your triceps, along with other smaller muscles, help keep your back straight and strong. Having strong, tight triceps helps keep your joints strong and ensures limited injury to these joints as well as helping you through daily activities – such as picking up your car keys or making dinner.
Making sure you have strong, tight triceps helps get rid of that ‘flabby arm’ look that no woman likes when wearing a t-shirt, tank top or strapless dress. When you build your tricep muscles you help to burn the fat in the surrounding area, thus bringing out some definition and keeping your arms tight and toned. Who doesn’t want tight, toned arms?
Using the EZ Bar (or a straight barbell) works both triceps at the same time spreading the weight equally across the muscles, by isolating your triceps, and helping you build strength in your triceps. Make sure to watch the video below for proper form and technique to ensure you don’t ‘crush your skull’ with the skull crusher.
Happy Training!

Flat Stomach Exercise of the Week – Stability Ball Dumbbell Chest Press
Flat Stomach Exercise of the Week – Stability Ball Dumbbell Chest Press
There are tons of awesome exercises out there to help you build muscle and burn fat. You don’t need to include ALL of these exercises everyday, but it is important to change what exercises your flat stomach workout has every few weeks.
This week I’m going to suggest you try the Stability Ball Dumbbell Chest Press. This exercise offers all the benefits of a chest press while adding some difficulty and allowing you to further strengthen your core muscles.
Every woman should being doing the chest press (its not going to make you look like a man – we now know that there are many benefits of weight lifting for women). The dumbbell chest press builds your chest muscles, which helps to increase your upper body strength. By building our chest muscles we also tighten our triceps. Tight triceps means sexy, toned arms in any sleeveless or strapless dress. This exercise also helps you build sexy shoulders without doing too much shoulder work.
By moving the dumbbell chest press from the bench to a stability ball, we increase the benefits by strengthening your core. In order to keep the stability ball ‘stable’ you must engage your core and glutes during the entire exercise. Having a strong core and glutes helps to prevent back injuries in the future, as well as helping you reach your flat stomach goals faster.
Watch the quick video below to see the proper form for this exercise, to prevent any injury.
Happy Training!

Three Moves for a Beach Season Body

People are trying to finish up their Friday and head home or to wherever their weekend festivities will take place. This weekend marks the beginning of “Beach Seasonâ€, an unofficial beginning to summer. It is those two words that send many people flocking to the beach to show off their ‘new and improved’ summer bodies (complete with flat abs and tight toned legs), and sends many others running to the gym to lose those 5 extra pounds before they too put on their bathing suit and head to the beach.
But just because it’s the beginning of ‘beach season’ doesn’t mean that it’s the end of your chances of ever fitting into that bathing suit and turning heads at the beach. These three moves will help you burn off those last few pounds to give you flat abs, and tight toned legs that will help you be noticed this ‘beach season’.
