Some people believe that a flat stomach can only be achieved through hard workouts. Of course, nutrition also plays an important role, but sports are often prioritized. The abs are pumped in all possible ways: from classical twisting to yoga and vacuum. But is it possible to do without physical exertion? Let’s find out together with World Class trainer Ekaterina Nekrasova.
Is it possible to get a flat stomach without training?
To this question the trainer confidently answers “yes”. Everything depends not so much on physical exertion as on nutrition. Sport, however, is only a supplement. As a rule, those who do not like regular training, prefer to cut the daily calorie allowance and thus lose weight.
Catherine: Flat belly depends only on nutrition, especially the lower part of it, under the navel. There “accumulates” all the sweet, flour, fat.
To achieve the desired figure, it is enough to exclude harmful food: all sweets, smoked meats, fast food. In addition, it is worth giving up excessively salty food, because it makes you want to drink more. As a result, there is a delay of fluid in the body, and, as a consequence, there are swellings.
What is the maximum result that can be achieved without exercising?
There is no such maximum, says the trainer. Lose weight is quite possible with the help of dietary changes, such as certain diets, detoxes, etc. If you seriously set a goal, you can even “dry out” and get the coveted cubes. The only question is how it will look like.
Ekaterina: You can “lose weight” to anorexia, i.e. there is no ultimate result in this case. But if there is no muscle corset at all, no muscles, there will be no relief.
That is, if you have at least minimally developed abs, corrected nutrition will be enough to get the desired relief sooner or later. Although it may take a lot of time.
So, it is possible to get a flat belly without exhausting hours of training. Perhaps it will take much more time. Perhaps the result will not be so impressive. But, nevertheless, it is quite realistic. And how correct and effective, it is up to you to decide.
