HOW TO LOSE EXCESS BELLY FAT

Several of us have sometimes, if not always, struggled with losing that stubborn belly fat. We go on crazy diets and boot camps in an attempt to lose it as quickly as possible.

But it never seems to work, does it? We also caught on.

So what do we do next? Coz we have to do something that works right?

According to several studies, the belly is actually the most dangerous place to store fat in the body. It’s known as the visceral fat, and it surrounds the internal organs, making it difficult for it to function properly. So it’s only right that we try to lose as much of it as possible to stay healthy.

Good news is that losing belly fat is possible with regular effort. Here are a few popular exercises that have been proven effective in reducing belly fat. In fact, we are pretty sure you’ve done some of them before.

Flutter kicks

This remarkable exercise will make your core muscles work very hard! Whether it is the lower rectus abdominal muscles or the hip flexors, every muscle is targeted well. Here’s how to do this exercise:

Start by lying on a mat. Ensure you keep your legs together, then extend them forward, bringing them to your eye level.
Next, tighten the abs, lift your feet off the ground, and begin moving your legs up and down.
Repeat 15 times, then take a break, and repeat 15 times again.

Reverse crunches

This exercise might sound tough but it actually isn’t. It targets the core and focuses on rectus abdominis (that’s the muscle in your abdomen that helps you get a six-pack). Here’s how to do this exercise:

Start by lying flat on your back. Then, raise your leg up at a 90-degree angle.
Place your hands flat on the ground.
Pull your legs and hips up towards the ceiling, while bringing your knees toward your chest.
Repeat 15 times, take a break, and then do it another 15 times.

Mountain climbers

Among all the exercises to decrease belly fat, mountain climbers are the number one calorie burner. This exercise is fit for building cardio endurance, core strength, as well as flexibility. Here’s how to do this exercise:

Start in a high plank position.
Place your hands under your shoulders, and extend your legs behind you.
Tuck your tailbone in as you engage your core muscles.
Your body should be in a straight line.
Bend one knee and draw it to your chest, then straighten it behind you, and switch sides.
Repeat 15 times, take a break, and repeat again.

Lunges with front kicks

This is another intense yet incredible exercise for not only your core, but also your legs and glutes. It also makes you more stable and flexible. Sounds amazing right? Here’s how to do this exercise:

Stand with your feet together.
Step back with one foot to complete a lunge.
Step back to the starting position, swing your leg through, and complete a kick.
Return to the starting position.
Repeat 15 times, take a break, and then do it another 15 times.

Planks

Performing a plank assists in strengthening and toning your entire body, making it much simpler to lose belly fat and overall body fat. Here’s how to do this exercise:

Begin in a push-up position on your knees, and draw your belly in towards your spine, while keeping your back straight.
Hold the position for at least 30 seconds and work up to holding it for a minute or longer as you increase your strength.
Repeat this several times.

Do these exercises at least 3 times a week, coupled with clean eating to see results.
