How to Lose Belly Fat?

Warm-up

Always start your PT with a slight warm-up in order to get your body muscles ready for more exercises. Move your head right and left, forward and backward, and then try your right ear touch to your right shoulder and then the left one do the same. Now your neck muscles are in tonus. Then warm your arm and leg muscles by doing exercises. Complete one set of 10-15 repetitions to each part of your body. This may take 10-15 minutes. And now you are ready to give your body more workload.

Push-ups

Stand on your hands and knees. Keep knees together and hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with arms straight and elbows soft. Then slowly lower your torso to the ground and raise it by pushing up to the starting position. Complete two sets of 8-12 repetitions. Keep your neck straight and your bottom down by switching on your abdominal muscles switched on through the whole move.

Sit-ups

Stand straight with your feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. Keep your hands by your sides. Bending your knees, slowly lower yourself as if you were going to sit on a seat while slowly raising your arms straight in front of you. Stop when your thighs are parallel to the floor and your arms are at shoulder height. Hold for three seconds, then push yourself back to the starting position. Do two sets of 8-12 repetitions. Try to keep your abdominal muscles braced and watch your knees – they should not come over your toes.

Lunges

Stand straight, step your right foot forward. This is your starting position. Lower yourself slowly, stopping before your left knee hits the ground. Keeping this form, slowly raise yourself to the starting position. This counts as one repetition on your right leg. Change legs and repeat the same up-down motion. Do two sets of 8-12 repetitions on each leg. Keep your back straight and your knee travelling straight ahead – but not beyond your toes. Your front knee should be directly above your ankle.

Lying leg raises

Lie on your right side with your head resting on your outstretched right arm and your left hand resting on your left hip. Your right leg on the floor can be bent for stability. Raise your left leg slowly, stopping at a comfortable height, then gently lower your left leg to the floor. Repeat 8-12 times. Repeat the exercise with your right leg to complete one set. Do two sets. Don’t ’throw’ your leg up. Complete the exercise slowly. Take your time.
