You’ve probably noticed that there’s an increase of tips and tricks on how to get rid of belly fat lately. A lot of people have belly fat and are looking for a great way to tone their midsection. If you fit in the category of people who want to lose stomach fat and eventually develop that desired ripped look, you should read the following article.
It’s time to get your body back on track! As we all know, belly fat can be a real pain in the you-know-what. But there are some simple exercises that can help you burn those calories and get rid of that belly fat. But first things first: check with your doctor before starting any exercise program. They can help you come up with a plan that is right for you and your goals.
Here are some exercises that can help with reducing belly fat:
1.) Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, arms resting at your sides. Press into heels as if trying to squeeze two tennis balls between legs and buttocks. Hold for 30 seconds; repeat 6 times.
2.) Place a sturdy chair against a wall for support; stand about 3 feet away from chair, facing it; bend knees slightly, shift weight forward into balls of feet, then raise one heel off floor (hold onto chair for balance if needed); keep heel raised for 1 minute; lower heel and switch legs; repeat 10 times per leg (20 total repetitions).
3.) Sit ups: A simple sit-up is a great way to get rid of belly fat. To do this exercise, lie flat on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Cross your arms over your chest and tighten your abs as you raise your torso towards your knees. Make sure not to overextend or arch your back. Repeat 15 times for three sets.
4.) Plank: Planks are an excellent core workout, which will help strengthen the abdominal muscles and reduce belly fat. To do this exercise, get into a pushup position but instead of placing both hands on the floor, place your forearms on the floor and rest on them while lifting up one leg at a time (or both legs together if you’re able to). Keep your back straight as you hold this position for 30 seconds at a time with no rest in between each set (do 3 sets total).
5.) Crunches: Crunches are another great way to get rid of belly fat! Lie down on the floor with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place hands behind head with elbows out wide from shoulders (this will keep shoulders from moving during exercise). Tighten abs as you bring head forward towards.
6.) Abdominal Crunches: Lie down on the floor, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your shoulders off the floor, hold for a couple seconds, and then lower back down. Do about 10 reps.
7.) Oblique Crunches: Lie on your back, with legs raised and knees bent at a 90 degree angle. Lift both legs off of the ground at the same time as you lift your torso up so that your body forms an L-shape. Lower back down slowly and repeat 10 times.
8.) Lift-Offs: This is an exercise that works the legs while also providing extra stability to the spine. It’s also great for developing balance and coordination because you need to stabilize yourself while moving one leg up at a time—so it’s a win-win! To do this exercise, stand with feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent; then raise one leg straight out behind you until thigh is parallel to ground (do not lock knee).
