15 Minute Morning Flat Stomach Routine

A flat stomach is something that many of us desire, but achieving it can be difficult. The good news is that you do not have to spend hours in the gym to work your core. This quick routine takes about 15 minutes and you can do it at home before your day begins.

A quick reminder: spot reduction is a myth. You cannot burn fat from one area alone. A strong core combined with regular cardio and balanced eating is what reveals a flatter, firmer midsection over time. This routine builds the strength, and your overall habits do the rest.

The routine

Move through each exercise, rest for 30 seconds, then repeat the full circuit two or three times.

1. Plank for 30 seconds. Keep your body in a straight line and squeeze your core.
2. Bicycle crunches for 40 seconds. Bring opposite elbow to opposite knee.
3. Leg raises for 30 seconds. Lower your legs slowly without letting them touch the floor.
4. Mountain climbers for 40 seconds. Drive your knees toward your chest at a steady pace.
5. Side plank for 20 seconds each side. Stack your feet and lift your hips.

Make it a habit

Doing this every morning wakes up your core and gives you an energising start to the day. Add a short walk or a bootcamp session a few times a week and pair it with good nutrition, and you will feel and see the difference.
