Loose tummy skin can be the result of rapid weight loss or pregnancy. The skin in the midsection can be tightened by building the abdominal muscles underneath. A comprehensive abdominal workout and healthy eating habits will make your tummy smoother and tighter.
Step 1
Perform reverse crunches. Lie on your back with your hands under your hips to support your lower back. Keep your legs straight and feet up toward the ceiling. Exhale and raise your hips off of the ground. Inhale and lower your hips back to the ground. Repeat for four sets of 25 repetitions three times per week.
Step 2
Perform V-ups. Lie on your back with your legs straight and your arms overhead. Exhale and squeeze up, lifting your feet up and reaching your hands toward your feet until your body is in a V shape. Inhale and lower yourself back to the ground. Repeat for four sets of 25 repetitions three times per week.
Step 3
Perform planks. Start in a push-up position. Lower yourself onto your elbows and hold for 30 to 45 seconds. Remember to keep your back straight and abdominal muscles tight. Repeat for four sets of 30 to 45 seconds three times per week.
Step 4
Stay away from packaged and processed foods. Eat natural foods such as fruits, whole grains, lean proteins and vegetables to increase your metabolism. Processed foods are high in fat, refined sugars and sodium, which can cause water retention.
Step 5
Eliminate starches at night. Consume starches earlier in the day so you can burn them off and avoid looking puffy. Starchy carbohydrates such as potatoes, breads, pastas, beans and rice increase your energy levels, but if they are not burned as fuel, they may be stored as fat.
