Best Exercises to Reduce Belly Fat

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels. If you want to conquer your weight loss goals this year, your dream is within reach. It takes discipline and effort, but nothing is impossible. Besides the typical diet and exercise, there are more ways to lose belly fat and tighten up the muscles of your abdomen. According to recent research done at Utah colleges, here are the top five exercises:

1

The Bicycle

The Bicycle

This targets the obliques. Lay on your back as if you are preparing to do regular sit ups. While lifting your shoulders off the ground, bring one knee into the chest. Swivel your chest to touch your right elbow to your left knee and extend your right leg. Slowly switch, by straightening your left leg and bringing your right knee to your left elbow. Repeat this pedaling motion.

2

The Chair Leg Raise

The Chair Leg Raise

Hanging from a pull up bar, slowly raise knees as high up to your chest as possible. This contracts the abs, working to reduce belly fat. Lower knees and repeat.

3

Exercise ball crunch

Exercise ball crunch

Use your exercise ball to complete a basic sit up. Lie back on the ball so your lower back is supported and cross your hands behind your head. Contract your abs with each crunch, pulling your chest towards your hips. You want to visualize crushing a can with your stomach. Lie back into a stretch and repeat.

4

Vertical Ball Crunch

Vertical Ball Crunch

Just like a regular crunch, lie on your back but extend your legs straight up in the air. Cross your knees and link hands beneath your head for support. As you contract your abdominals, lift your shoulders off the floor and hold for a breath. Release and repeat.
