The belly is the rounded protrusion on the belly that becomes more prominent when you wear tight, low-waisted clothing. Aside from being uncomfortable on the eyes, these have a noticeable impact on the flexibility of the body when it comes to the elasticity part.
It’s never too late to work out this bulge through simple exercises that can be done at home without much equipment and help.
So start today with these simple exercises for 40-45 minutes at least 5 days a week and you will see noticeable changes in that area of your body over time.
1. Abdominals
First you need to lie down on the floor. Next, keep your hands by your ears instead of behind your head to avoid neck strain and bend your knees with your feet flat on the floor.
Next, lift your shoulders and upper back up off the floor with your face pointing towards the ceiling and then exhale as you go up as high as you can.
Hold the position for a second and then inhale as you return to the starting position. This is a beneficial exercise for your upper abdomen.
You should repeat it 15 to 25 times.
2. Squats
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your chest lifted.
Extend your hands in front of you to help maintain balance.
Start by sitting up, then stand up as if you were sitting in an imaginary chair. Keep your face and head facing forward.
Lower your body down so that your thighs are parallel to the floor. Put all your weight on your heels. Keep your core tense and push your body up through your heels to return to the starting position.
Do 12 reps.
3. Jump rope
Try to keep your feet as close together as possible.
Do this exercise for 60 seconds.
4. Superman Pose
Lie face down on the floor with your arms and legs extended.
Lift your chest and legs off the floor as high as possible. Keep your neck neutral.
Return to the starting position.
Repeat for 3 sets of 12 repetitions.
5. Leg scissors
Lie on your back on the floor. Put your arms at your sides, palms facing the floor.
Lift your legs a few inches, keeping them straight.
Move your right leg to the left and vice versa, making sure your feet are crossed. That’s one repetition.
Do 10 to 15 repetitions.
6. Bicycle crunches
Lie down on an exercise mat, facing upwards.
Place your arms with your hands behind your ears or head.
Bend your legs alternately, bringing them closer to your abdomen. Synchronise the movement of your legs with that of your arms. Bring the elbow of one hand to the knee of the opposite leg. And vice versa.
Try to do between 10 and 15 repetitions with each leg.
7. Mountain climber crossed
For this exercise, you need to get into a high plank position.
Continue bringing your left knee towards your right arm, then bring it back to the starting position and then do the same but with your right knee towards your left arm, reproducing the appearance of a climbing movement.
Count up to 30 movements between both legs.
