Some of it is genetics I think. It depends on where your body is most likely to store fat, which varies from person to person. And some people are naturally a bit skinnier and can eat junk food but still stay skinny. I'm naturally skinny, I've been this way since I stopped growing as a teen. My stomach has always been flat regardless of what I eat.
But a lot of it has to do with diet if you're not naturally skinny. So eat healthy, home cooked meals. Stay away from processed foods and foods that contain lots of sugar. And even by doing some minor adjustments in your life you could "work out" without working out. Such as by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, not driving or taking the bus everywhere but actually walking as much as possible etc.
Also I think everyone should work out, even if just a little. I work out twice a week and I've seen some really good improvements in terms of flexibility and stamina. You don't have to be at the gym 24/7 to see improvements. Even by only working out once or twice a week for a couple of hours can make a difference, and not just a physical one but a mental one too.
Genetics. You either have it or you don't. And you have to eat healthier. None of that DD and McDonalds junk crap. However, if it's not affecting your health, don't worry about it. Plus, if you try doing that then you can be putting your health in jeopardy. Don't do it if you don't have to. Being slim isn't everything. I'm naturally slim, petite etc. It's a major struggle just to try to gain weight alone. If you don't try to up it up, have a highly caloric diet, exercise, etc, and go too low below the underweight line, then you will struggle to pick it up. Only do so if it will make you healthy.
If you are very skinny then yes. Though working out is far more healthy then starving yourself :P
I’ve never sat foot on a gym and I have a very flat stomach so yeah it’s possible lol
Genetics are such a big part of your body stores fat and the shape of your body and some people going to work out till the cows come home and they're never going to have a completely flat stomach and then there's others who have a metabolism that mimics a hummingbird when they can do whatever the heck they want and they don't gain an ounce the only thing I would say is don't starve yourself because fat skinny is gross looking you know when a girl is skinny just because she is malnutritioned like her legs are pencil rods but somehow she still has cellulite that's just not attractive at all so hitting the gym is never a bad idea it can only do good
You don't get a flat stomach by just doings abs. Abs purely show based on body fat percentage and ab workouts actually burn really low calories. You can work out abs all you want but if you're fat they'll never show. Now when you loose that body fat and the ab muscles show your stomach will look better because now you have lost body fat and gained some ab muscle. To reduce fat you must burn more calories than coming in. I recommend counting calories, eating lean, running, and doing ab work outs to have a nice flat stomach.

I know you want to avoid working out and you need to do ab workouts to tone up. You can't target fat. The only thing you can do is eat clean and cut calories. Working out does help with keeping your shape though. Try 30 mins on a rowing machine. It works the abs with proper form, but it also tones up your arms, back, thighs, and butt. Squats can make your booty nice and round too. Try doing goblet squats with a kettlebell. Very easy workouts that don't take a lot of time and don't burn too much calories or else it will just boost your appetite.
Nope, you can become slim if you have a proper diet, but the changes of you getting a perfectly flat stomach are very small unless you have it genetically, the reason is because 1. You probably have a interior pelvic tilt and you stomach will always be bulging out a little because of it no matter how slim you are and it can only be fixed with proper exercise.
2. Doesn't matter how good your diet is you will always have fat deposition on your sides, it is called love handle, and the fat deposition is not because of your eating habits but because of stress hormones and some other hormones, it's very difficult to get rid of them and only exercise can help you with that.
That being said you can still get in a very nice shape with a proper diet and a 15-20 min home work out without any equipment, but if you want a really toned body with perfect flat stomach you will have to do a real workout.
Dancing tones your body try belly dancing or something like that waist trainers and corsets also snatch your waist but you have to wear them regularly for a long time for them to permanently make your waist cinched.
That's because ab excercises don't make your stomach flat, diet does. aka, losing body fat. I mean, yeah, part of it is also having it tone inwards, but that's more related to the inner muscles. Look up stomach vacuums. That's what helps keep it tighter, while diet trims down bodyfat.
Personally, I never do ab excercises and the way it's showing is because I lift weights and eat less. I see way too many people focusing on these, only to make their waists bulkier (even if it's muscle).
Yes, you can try yoga but, you'll probably won't. You can try a balanced diet but, you'll skip it eventually so, just do three sets of planks at least thrice a day.
Doing one set will keep you more getting fat and, an increase would turn you flat.
Either you got the right genes (building up fat mass almost only on legs and ass) or you have to workout and maintain a diet for that.
Eat right, and you'll be good. Fruits, protein, vegetables. Include your five a day, which nobody i know actually does.
Simple recipe... caloric deficit to lose that belly fat...
That's really it
Yes mostly through diet, working out will make you lose fat and gain muscle if done right but dieting will make you lose fat faster if done correctly
Good genes and your 16 that has a lot to do with it. I do yoga on a 6 days I run yoga classes. Plus they say a skinny girl looks good with clothes on a fit girl looks good naked.
Less sugars and less starches and a belly belt that you can buy at the exercise department in any department store.
hahaha Or get Sono Bello and do it in one day.
Genetics. I have a friend who doesn't work out and eats junk food all the time. She has a perfect figure.
I don't spend hours at the gym and I have a perfectly flat stomach. I just do sit-ups and crunches to keep a flat stomach
Just eat healthy, don't deviate from it ever, and watch you get a flat stomach super fast.
Yeah! Eat healthily, track your calories and workout 2-3 times a week.
personal trainer to be here and while you may still need to work out (gets your metabolism up) what you are looking for is done in the kitchen as in what you eat and how much you eat (calorie intake/portion size)
It will be flat if you just achieve it by diet BUT you will also use up muscle. A fun way to keep your stomach flat is by belly dancing.
Keep yourself at a reasonable calorie deficit and it'll eventually happen AKA Diet
Honestly, you get more bang from tight diet control and 2 to 3 minutes of intervals twice a week than a shitload of cardio.
I dont like flat stomach but chubby-flat one specially below navel, just be yourself and if u dont think its worth it actually isn't.
