UpSwong Abs – because those pills that guaranteed a flat stomach didn't work!

One of the most common questions I hear is “how can I get a flat stomach?”

Closely related are its siblings:

• How can I get my abs to show?
• I’m a relatively thin person but I can’t seem to lose this stubborn belly fat?

At reunions we often run into its cousins:

• What are the best exercises I can do for my stomach?
• I’ve been doing X number of (insert exercise here) so why can’t I see my abs yet?  (hint: you’re too fat)

And finally those relatives you’re never really sure about.  Your Mom always glazes over the details…he’s your Uncle Joe’s half-brother’s wife’s sister’s dog walker…

• What’s the deal with this “revolutionary” 10 minute routine that is guaranteed to flatten your stomach?
• Have you heard about these pills I can take that will give me shredded abs while I sit on the couch?

I initially planned to make a single post addressing stomach swongs but then realized there is quite a bit to cover.  I’ve received some really good questions and while they are all related to flat abdominals, each have a very different theme.  For example one asked about the best ab exercises that would also be safe for the lower back and another question asked if I had tried a new weight loss supplement and what I thought of it.  These topics and more will each be covered in a separate post that will make up the series – UpSwong Abs.
