Most of us are convinced that sit-ups are the only way to get a flat stomach. Only a handful of people know that it is much easier to get an attractive stomach if we do exercises while standing. Such exercises banish the monotony from our everyday life, and at the same time we train other muscles with them, which would not be used at all with ordinary sit-ups. Here are the most effective exercises for a flat stomach.
This one effective exercise will only take 10 minutes, and each exercise will last exactly 45 seconds.
So what exercises make up this effective exercise for a flat stomach?
1. Standing sit-ups
Stand straight with your feet together. At a right angle, lift and straighten your leg in front of you and try to touch your toes. Do the exercise for both legs.
2. Diagonal pass
For this exercise, you will need something heavier to hold in your hands. You can use a medicine ball, a handle or a water bottle. Lift the right leg, bend the knee, while being straight. Hold the position and begin to move diagonally across the torso - from the right shoulder to the left hip and back again. Repeat the same with the left leg.
3. Jumps with revolutions
Bend your arms at the elbow and place them in front of your chest. Then start jumping quickly and at the same time turning your torso in different directions. Your hips and legs, as well as your bent arms, should move from side to side.

Stand with your feet and shoulders apart. Bend over and try to keep your legs straight and in place. Begin to rotate your upper body in a circle. The rotation should start with a horizontal position and end with a vertical position. With this exercise you will use all the muscles in your back and stomach.
5. High knees and hands bent
Lift your left leg diagonally towards your right shoulder. At the same time, close your palms and start making jerky diagonal movements from the right shoulder to the left knee.
6. Hip lift
Put one hand on your side. Raise the other arm and begin to bend in the direction of the other hip, and at the same time raise the corresponding leg, which is bent at the knee. While your elbow touches your hip, your palm should touch your bent knee.
