Lose Belly Fat Workouts

Do you want to know how to lose belly fat so you will have tight, flat abs. The right diet will help. But, if you want to reduce belly fat, you have to exercise those abdominal muscles.

Here are four exercises that will help you reduce belly fat and flatten your stomach.

Exercise #1: Single Leg Reverse Curl

1. Lie on the floor with your knees bent and your feet resting on the floor. Your arms should be down at your sides, palms facing down.

2. Lift your right leg straight up, so that it is parallel to the wall.

3. Contract your abdominal muscles and slowly lift your right leg up and back in a diagonal motion. Imagine trying to pull your right leg towards your belly button.

4. Slowly lower your leg back to the starting position, then repeat the exercise with your left leg.

5. Do about 10 to 15 repetitions of this exercise.

Exercise #2: The Half Curl

1. Lie on the floor with your knees bent and your feet resting on the floor. Your hands should be resting on your thighs.

2. Tightening your stomach muscles, lift your head and shoulders. Keep lifting, letting your hands slide down your thighs until they touch your knees.

3. Slowly lower back down into the starting position.

4. Repeat this exercise 10 to 15 times.

Exercise #3: The “Real” Abdominal Crunch

1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet resting on the floor. Rest your fingertips on either side of your head, and slowly raise your head and shoulders off of the floor.

2. Contract your stomach muscles and lift your knees towards your chest. At the same time, lift your upper body to about a thirty degree angle, bringing your elbows in so that your elbows touch your legs.

3. Hold this position for about two seconds, then slowly return to the starting position.

4. You should repeat this exercise about 10 to 15 times.

Exercise #4: Hands to Knees

1. Lie on the floor with your knees bent, and your feet resting on the floor. You don’t want your feet to be too close to your buttocks. Your hands should be resting on your thighs.

2. Tightening your stomach muscles, lift your head and shoulders. Keep lifting, letting your hands slide up your legs until they touch your knees.

3. Hold this position for about two seconds, and then slowly lower back down into the starting position.

Use these exercise three to four times a week, and you will reduce belly fat and flatten your stomach faster than you ever could have imagined.
