Here are the sure fire ways on how to flatten stomach.

• Lift weights.  By lifting heavy weights you raise your metabolism up to 12 hours and in some cases up to 24 hours.  Trust me when I say that you are not going to expend more calories by doing an hour of cardio.
• Do full body exercises.  If you want to flatten your stomach fast you need to think of exercises that recruit the most muscle fibers.  For example a leg extension may strengthen your quads, squats strengthen your quads, hamstrings,  back and your entire core.
• Sprints are better than long distance.  Since sprints are more demanding it act like a strength exercise.  You are using your muscles anaerobically.  And just like strength training you will get the benefits of a increased metabolism.
• Eat an calorie deficient diet.  You a BMR (Basel Metabolic Rate) calculator to figure out how many calories you need.  Make sure that you add the proper amount for your activity level.  Then make sure that on average you stick around this amount.
• Make you meals at home.  Include each of the food groups.  Stay away from processed foods and sugars.  Stay away from pre-cooked meals.
• Make sure that your workouts progress.  This means either more weights or more reps.  If your reps get above 12 – 15 you need to increase your weight.
• Look for other ways to expend calories.  This could be fidgeting, parking at end of the parking lot, eating spicy foods or drinking ice cold water.

Follow these steps and you will get a flat stomach in no time.
