Tip #1: “Old School” Crunches

It is the most common exercise that remains an effective method for toning abdominal muscles and getting rid of abdominal fat.

Basically, you need to lie on your back with your knees bent

· Next, stretch your abdominal muscles by lifting your upper body off the floor

And return to the starting position

To increase the effectiveness of this crunch workout,

Raise your upper body slowly and touch your right knee to your left elbow and vice versa

Make sure your head is off the ground while doing this sit-up exercise

Other than that, your breathing technique is important as you need to exhale when your stomach contracts and inhale when it returns to the original position. As a result of this training, you will feel some muscle tension in the waist and abdominals, which indicates the positive impact on the abdominal muscles.

Tip #2: Burpees (also known as squats): tone your core muscles

Burpees are the best exercise to keep the muscles of the whole body active, including the abdominal muscles. It’s also an ideal workout after your resistance training, for example, exercises involving free weights, weight machines, and exercise bands; with the intention of increasing muscle strength. Here’s how to get started with Burpees:

Initially, start standing up and raise your hands above your head.

· Next, place your hands on the floor and kick your legs back and as far as you can; this is similar to the push-up position.

Step back with your legs and return to the original position (with your hands raised above your head)

By doing burpees regularly, you will be able to quickly burn excess calories from your fat belly.

Tip #3: Russian Twist – Specifically tone your oblique muscles

The Russian twist is an effective exercise that targets the oblique muscles, the main part of the abdominal muscles found on the sides of the body above the waist. This is how you tone your oblique muscles with this method:

Start in a seated position on the floor with your knees slightly bent.

Take a medicine ball or dumbbell and hold it directly in front of you (indicating the “center” point)

Make sure your spine is not fully extended or flexed, and position your back so that it puts some stress on your abdominal muscles.

Next, rotate your obliques to the left 45 degrees without moving your shoulders and rotate them back at the “center” point, and then rotate them to the other side.

To add intensity to this workout, you can increase speed or grab a heavier dumbbell or medicine ball.

Hope these above mentioned tips can get rid of unwanted belly fat effectively and turn you into a six pack abs this year.
