The 5 Best Exercises For Burning Belly Fat

---

Dealing with body fat is never easy and those of you who have tried losing it know what we have in mind. But that does not mean that people give up on their goals and desires. The truth is that your will is not enough to lose that nasty body fat, but it is at least one step forward.

The fact is, and we think that most of you know it, that when you decide to lose weight you can’t just target a specific area and burn fat just there, it never works that way. Of course, there are areas that store fat the fastest and then lose it in the last turn. Your belly is one of those areas. Apart from that, there are lower and upper belly fat issues, and the lower one is obviously harder to deal with.

The fact that there are difficulties ahead does not mean that you can’t deal with them. What is more, we are ready to reach out a helping hand and help you out with that annoying bulging lower belly of yours. All you need to do is to wish hard enough for it to go away and carry out this ten-exercise routine regularly to get rid of the problem.

Not of the exercises are anything special, every one of you will be able to recreate them and once you do – your road to the perfect body has started! And we congratulate you on that!

Oh, and do not forget to monitor what you eat! 

Knees to Chest

1. Lie down on your back and pull both knees up to your chest.
2. Slowly pull the knees toward the shoulders until you feel the stretch in your lower back.
3. Stay in knees to chest pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Lift both legs, clasp your hands around the knees and, as you exhale, tighten the grip. As you inhale, loosen the grip and relax. Breathe smoothly, keep your back flat on the mat and lengthen the spine.

Toe Taps

Lie down on an exercise mat with your knees bent and arms at your sides.
Bring your legs up to tabletop one leg at a time, knees bent, thighs perpendicular to the floor. Maintain a neutral spine and avoid arching or pressing your back into the floor.
Begin by lowering the right foot and tapping it on the floor while the left leg remains in tabletop position.
Return the right leg to tabletop and repeat with the left leg.
Repeat for 10 taps on each side. Start with 1 set and progress to 2 sets of 10 taps on each leg.

The Dead Bug

To do the classic dead bug exercise start on your back. Bend your knees and lift your legs into the air with your knees bent at 90-degree angles. Shoot your arms straight into the air with your wrist above your shoulders. This is your starting position.
While you’re here think about drawing your shoulders to your hips to create internal trunk tension.

Keep your arms and legs engaged (imagine shooting fireworks out of your hands and feet) and inhale as you lower opposite arm and leg toward the floor. “Your appendages are playing a tug of war,” explains Kast.
Take four slow counts to lower and go as low as you can. If your lower back arches you’ve gone too far.
Exhale, pressing your low rib cage against the floor, and take four slow counts to return to your starting position.
Start with 10 reps on one side before switching to the next side.

Twisted Lowering Abs

Boat with Bent Knees

Begin in a seated position with your knees bent and your feet resting lightly on the ground as you balance on your sit bones (A). With your core engaged, lengthen through your torso and recline slightly, avoiding any rounding of your back. Extend your arms straight out in front of you, then extend your legs, creating a V-shape with your torso and legs (B). Breathe comfortably throughout the move. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds.

Make it harder
After holding boat pose for 5 seconds, recline a bit more, and lower your legs, allowing your legs and torso to hover just a few inches off of the ground as you balance on your sacrum (the bone at the base of your spine). Hold this variation for 5 seconds, then rise back up and hold. 6-8 reps
