A fantastic flat stomach solution is to take a photo of yourself as a personal daily motivator.

You know what they say, the camera never lies!

If you’re not happy with what you see in the mirror and the clothes don’t fit right anymore, then you definitely need to take this brave, worthwhile step and push the button on your camera!

Taking a ‘before’ photo of yourself is one of the ultimate motivators when it comes to changing your body.

You must have a visual when you begin your new healthy lifestyle or when you just need to refresh your mindset on the path to a healthier you.

The photo is for your eyes and your eyes only, but I suggest you put it up in a place where you can see it every single day. Take time to really look at your photo and see the personal changes you need to make in order to realise your goals.

When you look in the mirror your perception of how you see yourself can get distorted…

But your photo of you will never lie; it will show you the truth about your body and what physical changes it needs to become toned, healthy and stronger.

You will have the photo to look back at when perhaps you’re feeling unmotivated to carry on and wondering why you are doing all this in the first place.

You’re worth the effort and you deserve the changes that will come.

You will be reminded of the choice you have made and the journey you are on to a healthier and happier lifestyle.

Your photo will also be great for you to remember where you started and to see how far you have come…

That small photo of you can hold huge powers in motivating you towards your goals and to achieving lasting changes once and for all.

Set the pre-snap on your camera or get someone to take the picture for you and take a full length picture of you facing forward wearing either just your underwear or some short shorts and your sports bra.

If you’re digital then you could even use the picture as your screen saver or background at home!

That’s not all…there’s more you can do to get lasting results!

The next important step for you to take is taking your body measurements.

NEVER rely on the scales to give you accurate results in your fat loss goals…

Have you found that when the scales don’t move you tend to throw in the towel?

“why bother if I’m not losing weight” I hear you cry…

…well, taking your measurements is a far better way to track your progress.

The scales certainly don’t tell you how much looser your clothes are feeling or how great your arms are looking in your new summer tank top or how your “sexy flat stomach” is looking above the waistline of your skinny jeans.

Grab yourself a measuring tape and take your measurements first thing in the morning before you workout as your muscles will be filled with fluid after a workout, making them appear larger.

How to measure your body:

1. Only wear your underwear
2. Use a tape measure and hold it parallel to the ground
3. Measure the widest part of your body first (hips)
4. Measure your waist around your belly button
5. Measure your bust/chest around the centre under
your arms and put your arms down so it’s accurate
6. Measure your arms (get someone to help) around
the centre of your bicep
7. Measure the top of your thighs, again around the
widest part
8. Write them all down and track your changes at the
same point each month.

Follow these two proven motivational tips, hold yourself accountable to reaching the change you want to make and go for it.

Get moving now and there’s no doubt you will have your flat stomach for the summer and beyond!

Stay fit, keep focused and feel fabulous!
