AwesomeSauce4 · September 2011

Most people believe that belly exercises are the ones which concentrate mainly on the abdominal region and hence produce faster results than any other type of exercises. This is a myth. You can't lose belly fat with abdominal exercises alone. They are used to build and strengthen abdominal muscles and not to lose your belly fat so remember you have to add Cardio "peeps"

*Abdominal Crunches... 3 sets of 10

Begin by lying down flat on the floor. Now bend the knees with feet on the floor. Hold the hands just by the side of the ears. Do not interlock them. Take a deep breath before starting off. Now crunch up lifting the head and chest a bit against the gravity and try to touch the knees with the forehead. On achieving this, move down slowly, exhaling the air. Downward movement must be slower than the crunch up movement. Rolling off the upper torso as said is fine to start with to reduce the belly fat.
To have much more effectiveness, push the chest and head towards the ceiling while simultaneously pushing the lower back flat onto the floor. Our anatomy will lead to a crunching pattern conspicuously. Trying to crunch up towards the ceiling causes much more stress on the abdomen part. On reaching the maximum top position, hold still for a moment and then come back down.

*Stomach Twist... 3 sets of 12

stand on a flat surface with legs kept closer near to attention position of cops. Hands should be stretched in front where the eyes should see the nails of the hand. This is the position one has to take before starting up the exercise. Now, with eyes still fixed at nails, the hands should be moved towards left side of the body to maximum possible extent. The position of legs should be stern and should not incline in any direction while the upper part of the body reaches maximum angle of twist. After reaching the last point, hold there for about a second and slowly come back to the original position. The same procedure should be followed while going to the right of the body as well. Twelve times on each side of the body..

*Belly resting... hold for 1 minute and repeat 8 times

lie on belly on flat ground and take in as much air as possible. Now, slowly the arms and legs should be lifted off the ground and it should be stretched. The arms should be stretched very much forward with mediocre height and so as legs. This position should be held for at least one minute.

*Hip Raises....3 sets of 10 times..

lie down straight in the exercise mat and place your hands on either side of the body with palms facing down. When you are in the position just take a deep breath and make yourself ready for the workout. Gently lift your legs such that both the legs are perpendicular to the floor and the foot is facing the ceiling. Now thrust your hips up and raise those hips completely off the exercise mat to about 1 or 2 inches. Hold the position for 2 seconds and then lower your hips. Hold the position for few seconds and then raise the hips again to your previous position.

*Trunk rotation...3 sets of 12

lie down on a flat floor with knees as 90 degrees. Feet should be parallel to the floor and should rest on the floor. The hands should kept on the either side and should face east and west direction. Now keep one hand parallel to the body and the other hand in the same position. Twist your trunk region towards the left while the right hand is facing in right hand direction.
