Getting rid of the belly pooch may have nothing to do with your diet or your aerobic program. For many people who are eating right and working out regularly but still have a belly pooch (stomach sticks out) the problem might be tight hip flexors. When your hip flexors are tight it tilts your pelvis into a position that makes your stomach stick out.

You can flatten your stomach by stretching out your hip flexors and strengthening your hip extensors. Stretching the three primary hip flexors known as Psoas Major, Illacus and Rectus Femoris and strengthening the hip extensors known as Gluteus Maximus and Hamstrings could solve the belly pooch problem for good.

  • Would massaging the hip flexors also help improve the process of releasing the anterior tilt?

  • @eyedontgivaphuk

    It could, but it would be a temporary fix. Work on strengthening your hip extensors.

  • How long would it take to lose your pooch after doing these exercises .. ? Please answer back, thanks! :)

  • @StephanieM79

    You should see a difference in a week or two. As soon as your hip flexors become looser and your extensor muscle stronger, the belly pooch should diminish.
