1. Crunches:

Nothing burns belly fat faster than crunches! Crunches occupy the number one position when it comes to fat-burning exercises. Now, it’s time that you start with this abs crunching exercise. Follow the steps mentioned below.

 

Lie down flat on a mat with your knees bent and feet on the ground. Alternatively, you can also lift your legs off the floor at a 90 degrees angle. (See picture).Now lift your hands and place them behind your head or keep them crossed on your chest.Inhale deeply and as you lift your upper torso off the floor, exhale.Again inhale as you get back down and exhale as you come up.Do this for 10 times as a beginner.

Repeat another 2-3 sets.

One small tip:

As you lift your torso, do not sit up straight. You should be at a 30-40 degrees angle off the ground. Thus, you’ll feel pressure on your abdominal muscles.

1. Twist Crunches:

 

 

 

Once you get used to the regular crunches, modify the basic crunch to get an even more effective tummy exercise!

Lie down on the floor with your hands behind your head.Now bend your knees as you would do in crunches, keeping your feet on the floor.As in a crunch, you would have lifted your upper torso; in twist crunches you just have to lift your right shoulder towards the left, keeping your left torso on the ground.Again alternatively, lift your left shoulder towards the right, keeping your right torso on the ground.Repeat for another 10 times.

 

2. Side Crunch

 

This is same as the twist crunch exercise. The only thing that you need to do is tilt your legs to the same side simultaneously with your shoulders. The side crunch focuses on the muscles on your sides.

3. Reverse Crunches:

 

 

 

 

Now it’s time to do reverse crunches. This is another best exercise to reduce belly fat for women.

This is same as the twist crunch exercise. The only thing that you need to do is tilt your legs behind simultaneously with your shoulders. The side crunch focuses on the muscles on your sides.

4. Vertical Leg Crunch:

 

 

Lie flat on the floor or on the mat with your legs extended upwards towards the ceiling and one knee crossed over the other.Now that you have positioned your body perfectly, do the same as you would have done in case of crunches. That is, breathe in and lift your upper body from the floor towards the pelvis.Now breathe out slowly. As you bring yourself down, breathe in again and exhale as you go up.Do 12-16 crunches for up to 3 sets at a go.
