Hi, my name is Steve Smith, and as a former professional athlete, and now a health and fitness consultant, the most commonly asked question I get from people, besides how can I get 6 pack abs, is how can I get a flat stomach. Now, I regularly get emails from women, and men!, that they have been doing plenty of exercise, they have been eating right, they even say they can tell fat has came off their stomach area, but no matter what they do, they still seem to have this bulging of the stomach, or pooch if you will of their lower abdomen, that sticks out. So as you read on, I am going to explain to you, the real reason your stomach sticks out, particularly the lower part, and the real secret to getting that stomach in nice and flat as possible and even without having to burn an ounce of stomach fat. That’s right. This is very unique!

Your stomach bulge, may have nothing to do with how much cardio or aerobics you are doing, or anything to do with the food you are eating, what is causing your stomach to bulge, is stemming more from a muscular/skeletal imbalance of the pelvis. This is when some muscles are tight and others are weak. And what then is happening, is it is causing your pelvis to tilt into a position which is causing your stomach to actually bulge out. And with specialized stretches and exercises of opposing muscles, we can reposition the pelvis, or align if you will, so your body runs much straighter and much healthier.

“What is causing your stomach to bulge, is stemming more from a muscular/skeletal imbalance of the pelvis”

Over time, this misalignment of the pelvis, will have also lead to weaker transverse abdominis muscles, which are your deep inner abdominal muscles, which actually wrap around your internal organs and connect back to your lower spine. And are designed to hold everything in, nice and tight.. it basically acts like an inner corset. But because your pelvis has been misaligned for quite a period of time now, this corset has become stretched. However, once we can start aligning the pelvis into the correct position, following specialized stretches and exercises , we can then start adding ‘additional’ exercises for the internal stomach muscles, or corset muscles if you will, to start strengthening and tightening them back up too. This will then keep everything in place. It won’t take long and you will start seeing incredible flat stomach results, just from aligning the pelvis. With a regular routine of these specialized stretches and exercises, for the pelvis and inner abdominal wall muscles, the stomach will never “pop’� back out, or bulge out again.

So let me get a little more in depth of what is going on with your body, and why your stomach has a bulge or pooch to it.

What is most likely happening to your body, and causing your belly to bulge out, is stemming from tight hip flexors. Hip flexors are muscles designed to do exactly that, flex the hip. There are actually 3 kinds of hip flexors. One which is called the rectus femoris muscle. This hip flexor muscle is one of the four quadriceps muscles of the thigh. This muscle is attached to the knee cap and runs all the way to the anterior inferior iliac spine which is on the wing of the hip bone.

Now when this muscle is tight, it can actually tilt, or actually rotate the pelvis forward, and this is a very high probability as to why you have this stomach bulge or pooch if you will.

The other 2 hip flexor muscles are the iliacus, and the psoas major muscles. These are 2 very powerful hip flexor muscles and are both attached to the lesser trochanter, which is a small bump situated near the top of the femur, and runs right up tight against the illium, wing of the pelvis, and attaches to the lumber vertebrae, the transverse processes. Now when these muscles are really tight, they also tilt your pelvis forward. Most probably if one of these hip flexor muscles are tight, they all will be.

So now as you can see, when these muscles are tight, when the rectus femoris, the iliacus, and the psoas major hip flexor muscles are tight, as you can see, the pelvis is pushed forwards, tilted forwards, and is leading to my stomach bulging out.

If we can elongate or loosen, relax these muscles, or even strengthen the antagonist muscles, the opposite muscles, which are the hip extensor muscles, you will see how the pelvis now returns into a much straighter, more natural healthy position, and my stomach becomes completely flat.

Have a look in the mirror for yourself, as you tilt the pelvis forward, your belly sticks out…tilt it back and your belly becomes completely flat. This is the position we are aiming for, to keep the pelvis in this position at all times…without even trying. Once the hip flexors are elongated and the opposite extensor muscles tightened, along with the strengthening of those inner abdominal corset muscles I was talking about earlier, the pelvis will just naturally stay in this position without even trying to hold your stomach in, and your belly will keep flat always.

If you look in the mirror side on and relax, and if your lower back has quite an arch to it, inwards, this normally means you are for sure a candidate for having a forward rotated pelvis and needs correction or alignment.

No matter how much cardio, aerobics or healthy eating you do, if these hip flexor muscles are tight, and your inner abdominal muscles are stretched and weak, you will always have a belly that sticks out.

Simply follow every day or even every second day and start seeing incredible flat stomach results fast! In as little as a few weeks!
