Everybody in this world look for flat and sexy stomach. And why not, a sexy belly gives you healthy competition to live healthy and follow an hour of exercise which focuses more on reducing fat. Dieting and Exercising go hand in hand. If you assume dieting without exercise can do the magics then it won’t. Just include healthy diet plan along with an hour of exercise schedule. I am sure compliments will come flying your way directly and you will feel proud. And when you see yourself slipping into jeans that haven't fit you in years, it will do all the part of inspiring you.
If you are in dilemma that you'll be successful "spot treating" your belly fat with crunches, think again. That is not completely true. You need to include few exercises in your daily schedule that are effective in burning fat from your stomach and from other part of body as well.
Crunches:
Ofcourse! Everybody must be telling you to do crunches since ages. This is the most effective exercise.
How to Do
- Lie down flat with your knees bent and feet on the ground.
- Lift your hands and place them behind your head or keep them crossed on your chest.
- Inhale deeply, and as you lift your upper torso off the floor, exhale.
- Inhale again as you get back down, and exhale as you come up.
Twist Crunches:
How to Do
- Lie down on the floor with your hands behind your head.
- Bend your knees as you would do in crunches, keeping your feet on the floor.
- You have to lift your upper torso while performing crunches. But, in twist crunches, you have to lift just your right shoulder towards the left, keeping the left side of your torso on the ground.
- Again alternately, lift your left shoulder towards the right, keeping the right side of your torso on the ground.
Vertical Leg Crunch:
How to Do
- Lie flat on the floor, or on the mat, with your legs extended upwards (towards the ceiling) and one knee crossed over the other.
- Now that you have positioned your body perfectly, do the same as you would have done in the case of crunches. That is, breathe in and lift your upper body from the floor towards the pelvis.
- Breathe out slowly. As you bring yourself down, breathe in again, and exhale as you go up.
Bicycle Exercise:
How to Do
- Lie on the floor and keep your hands either by your sides or behind your head as you do in crunches.
- Lift both your legs off the ground and bend them at the knees.
- Bring your right knee close to your chest, keeping your left leg away.
- Now take your right leg away and bring your left leg close to your chest.
- Keep doing this as if you are paddling a bicycle.
Rolling Plank Exercise:
How to Do
- Position yourself on the floor with your knees and elbows resting on the ground.
- Keep your neck aligned with your spine. Look forward.
- Lift the knees up and support your legs on the toes.
- Contract your knees and keep breathing normally.
- This is the plank pose. Stay in this posture for 30 seconds.
Bending Side to Side:
How to Do
- Stand erect with your feet together and keep your hands to the sides.
- Keeping your legs grounded, bend your body to the right as much as possible till you feel a strain on your left waist. As you do so, ensure your right hand is on the right hip, and the left hand is raised upwards. Stay in the position for 15 seconds.
- Return to the original position.
- Now bend to the left, and retain the position for another 15 seconds
