How to get a flat belly without much outdoor exercise?

1. Cut sugar, especially the refined one

The most essential part of a toned body is maintaining the calories intake.

Since you aren’t working out a lot, you should try to intake lesser than the amount mentioned.

But don’t starve. It’s not going to help you.

For me, I eat almost everything because I have a high metabolism rate and I somehow manage to burn a decent amount of calories everyday working out for an hour, five days a week.

2. Cardio

Cardio is important. You do not have to do a lot of it but fifteen minutes of it will definitely help you. Brisk walking/ dancing/ aerobics/ Zumba/ skipping/ burpees/ mountain climbing/ running are great cardio workout.

It not only burns your calories but works on your overall body toning.

3. Protein

Yes protein is important but you just can’t rely on proteins completely. Carbs cannot be ignored because they provide you energy for the whole day.

Maintain a strict diet for a couple of months and balance the protein and carbs intake.

You should take protein in proportion to the workout you do else there would be digestion problems.

I have seen people taking lots of protein and not working out leading to oily face with lots of acne over the body.

Also, try to rely on natural sources of protein like fish/eggs and meat.

4. Avoid bloating

Sometimes we aren’t aware of a few food items that bloat our stomach and make it look all heavy and the lower belly especially pops out.

One needs to keep track of such food items and avoid them.

For me, banana shake, legumes (Sprouted grams) and colas were the main reason for bloated stomach.

I stopped taking them for a month and I could feel the difference.

5. Increase Your Metabolism:

The most important part is your metabolism. The higher it is, the more helpful it is to keep you thin and fit.

I follow an old rule my mom used to give me.

Before sleeping I drink a glass of hot milk.

After waking up I drink a glass of normal/Luke warm water.

These two normal habits might increase your metabolism rate.

Try to follow these habits for a few months and see the difference in your lifestyle.

I have recently started gyming from October. I skip a lot though. So, I can guide you a little because before gyming as well, I used to have flat stomach and an active body.

Disclaimer: Whatever worked out for me, might not work out for you as everyone’s body is different. I have never been relying on gym or any other training and keeping my body fit and toned since long and this is all I did except for the gym part.
