How To Have A Flat Tummy At Any Age
Flat Tummy At Any Age
It's not all about good genes and loads of crunches. Celebrity trainer James Duigan dishes food and exercise tips for women in their twenties, thirties, forties and fifties...
In your twenties, your body is close to its prime. You can get away with more (drinking alcohol, eating carbs, smoking) and your youth will soak it all up – for the most part. But if you overdo it, you will get fat – being a twentysomething doesn’t grant you immunity against stomach fat. You can get great results at this age, though, and with little effort. The biggest thing to avoid is refined sugars (alcohol, sweets, biscuits) and complex carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, rice).
Ideal Exercise
If you stay flexible, your abs will remain strong and your stomach flat, so try yoga or Pilates. Learn good posture (if you haven’t already) and keep your overall body fat down; this will keep your stomach flat with minimal effort.

Brilliant! You just summarised my issues :) I'm 32 and yes, it's almost as if a switch has been flipped. REALLY struggling to keep down my weight (and there's the family genetics to fight off, too!) Will see how I can incorporate this info into a realistic, holistic weight and fitness management plan of some sort.
