| Top 10 Towards A Leaner
Tummy
 Far too many women spend hours trying to tighten that tummy, only to see
the same old pudgy pooch day after day.
A few of us have been blessed with great tummies! For most of us, however, it
takes a lot of hard work to obtain and maintain a tummy worthy of being shown
off in a swimsuit. Check out these top 10 for a leaner tummy -
1. Do not eat other people's leftovers
 Having the crusts
from your toddler's peanut butter sandwich, a small handful of your co-workers
m&m's, a few sips of coke, and a bite or two of your hubby's ice cream may seem
harmless but these calories add up big time. Be careful about these seemingly
small daily cheats. If you have to indulge set a limit that's within your
daily
calories and try to stick to it. The smarter thing to do is to figure out how to
banish junk food cravings altogether until you've lost the
weight.
2. Chew your food thoroughly
 Eating fast short-circuits the signals that your digestive system generates to
signal that it's getting full. Slowing down gives your stomach and intestines
time to send these messages to your brain.
3.
Avoid eating fast food on the run
A good diet helps your body withstand stress better. But when you're
 hustling to catch a flight or making it to a meeting on time, you're
probably not thinking about making your next meal a healthy one. Avoid
all-you-can-eat, buffet-only, and dessert-cart places. Try going
Asian or
vegetarian, for a lot of tasty options. Try a grilled chicken sandwich for
a satisfying snack on the go. Snack on whole-wheat crackers and fruit on
the tour bus to resolve against roadside, greasy-hamburger stops. Eat a Nutribar before your conference begins
so you don't give in to a candy bar break later.
4.
Exercise regularly
 Three times a week, perform some type of
aerobic conditioning or circuit
training for 20 to 30 minutes.
Exercising the ab muscles twice a week is plenty. For example, perform your ab
exercises every Monday and Thursday. Muscles become stronger and more firm
through the process of adaptation. We stress the muscle and then it recovers
and comes back stronger and better. The muscles need time to recover. Another
reasons for sagging tummy is, bad posture. More than often, women have
their shoulders falling and with the posture is beginning to lean
forward. Practice healthy posture with your shoulders up and back straight
while walking, sitting at your desk and exercising. Doing this while
exercising helps flatten the belly.
