You will be surprised once I tell you one of the best and most effective exercises routines against belly fat available online. Yes, it almost doesn’t include sit ups, because they don’t help to burn fat and thus losing weight. You should reduce calories of fat and carbohydrate that you intake, and create yourself a healthy diet, and only after that, start training, but you should focus yourself on cardio exercises, or other exercises that train your whole body.
First you should buy an inexpensive workout ball, the type you blow up. You will want to use this for three main exercises. You will want to target three sections of your abs muscles. The rectus abdominus which is the section responsible for the much coveted six pack look, the transverse abdominus located on the side and the external oblique which is also located near the side.
All three of these combines are the best exercise to lose belly fat. You need to understand something right now. You can sit on your exercise ball and do one sit up after another and never gain the results you desire. You need to learn proper muscle contraction at the top of every repetition. Now, let’s look at three varied movements which will really begin to help you lose belly fat.
First, sit on the exercise ball with your butt and have your legs flexed and shoulder width apart. Place your hand across your chest. Make one repetition and squeeze the abs and the crunch position, I mean really squeeze them. Do this 25 times and you will start to feel the burn. I always commit to three sets of 25 reps.
Second, lie on your back and place the exercise ball between your ankles. Raise the ball towards the sky and squeeze the abs. Lower the legs and squeeze the abs once more. Follow the same rep pattern as #1.
Third, lie on your back and put the exercise ball under your knees like you would if you were lying on the floor watching TV and you had your legs on the couch, only this time your couch is the exercise ball. Lift your chin towards your knees with your hands across your chest and squeeze your abs at the top. Then slowly lower your chest while maintain tight abs. Follow the same repetitions as the exercises one and two.
These are the best exercises to lose belly fat. Plus, you should couple these with healthy eating habits and you are well on your way to a leaner and healthier you.
