Your abs are there, but they are hiding under you belly fat. You need to get rid of that so you can see them. Here are some exercises you can do to lose your stomach fat, which will also help you get rid of other excess fat:
1. Many people think if they do a particular stomach exercise enough times they will get abs, but this does not work and they could harm themselves by putting a strain on other parts of the body. The best way to burn fat is to exercise your whole body. Exercises like squats, push-ups, lunges are very good. Try to use as many muscles as you can. This way you will build your muscle mass, which will speed up you metabolism and burn calories faster.
2. Add cardio exercises to your strength building. These exercises need to be hard to help burn calories. It is no good going for a stroll around the block and expecting big results. Find the cardio exercise that suits you best - walking, running, cycling, swimming, treadmill or exercise bike. You need to do vigorous cardio exercises about 3 times a week.
3. When you lose some excess stomach fat then you can add more flat-stomach exercises to your routine to get your abs to work harder.
The whole point of any exercise you do should be to burn off more calories than you are taking in. If you go for a heavy workout at the gym but then go for a pizza or a fatty take-away, you will not lose weight or, if you do, you will lose it very slowly. You do need to change your diet and you do need to change it permanently if you want to keep your flat stomach.
To keep yourself in shape and to keep your abs you will need to stay faithful to your diet. Once you get in shape you will not have to work quite so hard, but you still need to keep up strength training and cardio vascular training to control weight and maintain good health.
To help with your diet try to avoid white flour and white sugar products, along with food heavy in fat such as fried foods. Include plenty of good protein like lean meat, fish, eggs and nuts and plenty of fruit and vegetables and whole grain bread and cereals.
Do not look for overnight results. You do need to be patient, particularly if you are very overweight. If you have not exercised for some time, you should take it easy at first. Work on your fitness for several weeks and you will start to see a difference - you will see those hidden abs appearing.
