Will Running Flatten my Stomach?

There's a big debate out there when it comes to what exercises should be done to burn calories. Mostly, it comes with people who run versus people who hate running.

I'll admit that I hate running. With a passion. And running will not help flatten your stomach.

It's easier to train your abs when you walk.

Walking is natural. Our bodies do it so readily that we don't even think about it. Also, walking is lower impact on our hips, knees, and back.

If you want to train your abs to stay in on a day to day basis, then you need to walk. Not only will it burn calories, but it will also get your stomach flattened due to a natural movement that your body is use to doing.

The next time you go to the gym, or walk outside, try focusing on keeping your stomach tight while you walk. You'll definitely feel the difference, and overtime it becomes natural to "hold it in".
