Aquasize - Effective way to flatten your stomach

However, swimming is great exercise and whenever you do it. But in addition to using the water for fun and relaxation, you can also use your time in the pool to help in your quest for a flatter stomach.

Water offers great natural resistance more than air. Continuing requires effort and can work your muscles more fully but safely than many other types of exercise. It offers a low-impact training method that improves your joints and is the exercise of choice for many ages.

Try these exercises next time you're in the pool and see what we mean. Remember to consult a doctor before starting a new exercise session and make sure you warm up properly.

The digging and jumping

This involves two movements, one on your lower body and the other on your upper body. Start by standing in water at a depth above your navel and chest. Then place your feet at least shoulder-width apart and jump so that your knees come to the surface of the pool. Then press them back down and repeat the movements (imagine a frog jumping while doing this and you'll get the idea). This is ideal for training the lower body and this includes the abdominal muscles.

The second part is working on the upper body. To start, make a separate ball with each hand. Place your hands deep in the water and bring them to the surface and to the side. Start by doing one hand first for three minutes and then the other. Work alternately to maintain a balanced workout. Once you're comfortable with this, use both hands to work the entire stomach region at once.

Set realistic goals as you work toward your health and fitness goals. Do not overexert yourself, which may result in injury. Start slowly, know your limits and build from there gradually. As you increase endurance and strength, you can vary the speed and length of the workout and even add water gloves to increase resistance. However, it is important not to compromise on movement style in order to increase reps or speed. It's better to do something well than quickly.

A few additional tips for training your diaphragm

First, a balanced diet is essential to any fitness program. It's no use working hard only to undo all the great work with a poor diet.

Second, stay hydrated not only during exercise but also in your general daily life. A good rule of thumb is to take your body weight in pounds, divide it by 2 and drink that number of ounces of water per day. This will maintain a healthy balance.

Third, rest. Get plenty of sleep, but also the right kind of sleep. For example, if you sleep on your stomach, it may be difficult to perform certain types of stomach exercises. Try sleeping in multiple positions. It may also sound strange to say this, but take a proper break from training. Make sure you stick to any exercise schedule on rest days. Your body needs to recover so your muscles can rebuild.

If you follow this, you'll already be on your way to a toned, flat stomach.
