15-Minute Flat Belly Workout

Achieving and maintaining a flat tummy takes two main things; good nutrition and consistent, intense training sessions according to PUMA’s Team Faster trainer and #GirlGains founder Victoria Spence.

“It takes more than simply performing a couple of crunches when you go to the gym to get a set of abs. I have found that performing heavy compound lifts and engaging the core, adding HIIT/ Tabata at the end of training sessions and incorporating a ‘steady state cardio and abs’ day into my routine has been the real secret to keeping my tummy flat,” she explains.

“When it comes to training my core, I like to do exercises, which create a real burn in the abs! I steer away from the average sit up, and instead do exercises that require lots of control and stability!”
