Is zipping your pants a real struggle? Does your quest for a sexy stomach always? Well, you may not be where you exactly wish to be, but there’s a remedy to how you can get there.
You’re close to your target weight and you’ve spent countless hours in the gym, and now you’re wondering why you still don’t have a flat belly.
They key guarantees, a calorie controlled diet to make sure you’re not storing excess belly fat, a good all round workout to keep those calories burning, and a targeted workout for the muscles in your stomach.
The five exercises below will target your belly area and give you the look that you want. The exercises are something anyone can do, no matter their level of fitness, and just ten minutes a day is proven to have visible results.
The Boat
Both the high boat and the low boat move will have a huge effect on your belly. Most floor based ab centred exercises focuses on raising either your torso or legs off the ground.
The boat does both at the same time, making it a double whammy of an exercise. Start with a twenty second hold and work up to three minutes.
The Squat
The squat is a perfect core exercise that not only strengths your legs, but also your abs. Your ab muscles will hold tension as you squat, taking on the role of keeping you balanced.
Hold your stomach in as you squat for the best results. Mix up the kind of squats you do to keep things interesting and target different core muscles.
The Reverse Crunch
The reverse crunch is a good exercise, as unlike many crunch varieties, it not only targets your abs but your obliques as well, a muscle that is often overlooked but super important on the quest for a flat belly.
Start with three sets of ten reps and aim to build up to three sets of twenty-five reps.
The Plank
Planking is a fantastic, low impact, way to strength your abs. In this pose, your abs take the majority of your body weight and hold it in position. Don’t forget to also include oblique planks for the best all round results.
Start with twenty sections for each plank and aim to build up to three minutes of each one.
The V Sit Up
Similar to the boat, the V sit up works by raising both your upper and lower body at the same time. The V sit up is a continuous movement rather than a pose which also helps to burn calories making it a great addition to your abs workout.
Start with three sets of ten, building up to three sets of twenty-five.
