16 Easy Exercises To Burn Belly Fat Fast

Tolu Moses 8 hours ago · 11 min read

Can’t fit into small clothes? Does belly fat interfere with sleep? If your answer is yes,
then you need to change something in your lifestyle in order to get the figure of
your dreams. Undoubtedly, belly fat looks ver y unaesthetic. It can reach serious
proportions and, as a result, affect health, if you do not get rid of it in time. Read
also article >>16 Causes of Belly Fat<<.

Proper nutrition and exercise should go hand in hand. If you really want to lose
weight, then you need to add belly fat burning exercises to your daily schedule.
We’ve put together a list of 16 exercises for you that can help you burn belly fat
faster than you think.

1. Twisting:
Nothing burns belly fat more quickly than crunches, which are at the top of our list
of fat burning exercises. Now is the time to start doing it daily.

How to do:

1. Lie with your back on the floor with bent knees and rest your feet on the floor.
Alternatively, you can also raise your legs off the floor and bend your knees 90
degrees (as shown).

2. Raise your arms and place them behind your head, or cross them over your chest.

3. Inhale deeply, and then exhale slowly as you lift your upper body off the floor.

4. Inhale again as you descend, and exhale as you rise.

5. If you are a beginner, do 10 reps. If you can, then gradually increase the number
of repetitions.

6. Do 2–3 more approaches.

Warning:

When doing crunches, instead of fully raising to a seated position, hold your back
10–15 centimeters from the floor. This ensures that you don’t hurt your back.

Also, do not make sudden movements with your head while performing twists.
Other wise, you will put stress on your neck, which can lead to pain. Just keep your
hands behind your head as you do the exercise.

Tip: When you lift your torso, do not sit down completely. Your back should rise 30–
40 degrees off the floor. This is the only way you can work out your abdominal
muscles as efficiently as possible.

2. Twisting W ith Turns:

Once you get used to doing regular crunches, modify the simple crunches to get
even more effective belly fat burning exercises

How to do:

1. Lie on the floor with your hands behind your head.

2. Bend your knees as you would for a normal crunch, with your feet resting on the
floor.

3. Raise your upper body as you would in a regular crunch. But, in the U-turn
crunch, you should swing your right shoulder to the left, keeping the left side of
your torso flat on the floor.

4. Then lift your left shoulder to the right, keeping the right torso on the floor.

5. Do 10 reps on each side. 3 sets.

3. Side Crunches:

How to do:
This is analogous to the U-turn crunch. The only difference is that you have to tilt
your legs at the same time with your shoulders to one side. Lateral crunches focus
on working out the side sections of the press.

Warning:

Make sure your movements are steady and slow. The abdomen, being a difficult
area, can be damaged by sudden and rapid movements.
Do 3 sets of 10 or more reps on each side.

4. Reverse Crunches:

Now it’s time to do reverse crunches. This is another great exercise for losing belly
fat

How to do:

This exercise is similar to twisting. You need to bend both legs at the same time over
your shoulders.

Do 3 sets of 10 or more reps.

Warning:

Keep your back straight while doing the exercise. Arching it can lead to pain and
sometimes even injur y.

5. Twisting W ith Raised Legs:

How to do:

1. Lie on the floor or rug with your legs extended upward (pointing toward the
ceiling). If stretching does not allow, then you can cross one knee with the other
and bend slightly.

2. Now that you are in the ideal position, start doing the same thing as you did in the
simple crunches. That is, inhale and lift your upper body from the floor towards the
pelvis. Exhale slowly. When you come down, inhale again, and exhale as you come
up.

3. Do 3 sets of 12–15 reps.

Warning:

For starters, do only a few repetitions of this exercise, as you may feel pain if you
overdo it initially.

6. “Bicycle”
No, you don’t need to buy a bike for this exercise . How so? We will tell you.

How to do:

1. Lie on the floor and stretch your arms along your torso or behind your head, as in
crunches.

2. Lift both legs off the ground and bend them at the knees.

3. Bring your right knee to your chest, but do not move your left.

4. Now bring your right leg for ward and bring your left knee to your chest.

5. Continue doing as if you are riding a bike.

Do 3 sets of 10 or more reps on each side.

As shown in the video below, a sophisticated version of this exercise can be with the
hands behind the head and simultaneously twisting the shoulders towards the
knees

7. Lunges
This exercise is ideal for beginners to lose belly fat.

How To Do:

1. Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees slightly.

2. Raise both arms in front of you, parallel to the ground. Or you can lower your
arms, but take weights (dumbbells, water bottles, etc.).

3. Drop for ward as shown. Take a large step for ward with your right foot and sit
down like a chair. So that the knees are bent 90 degrees. The left leg should remain
behind, resting on the foot.

4. The back should be straight. Don’t bend your back for ward.

5. Rotate your torso (torso only, not legs) to the right and then to the left.

6. Repeat 15 times on each leg. Take 3–5 sets.

This exercise has a dual purpose. Moreover, unlike the exercises described above, it
does not directly load the abdominal muscles.

Firstly, this is the simplest strength exercise, suitable even for poorly trained people.
Since it is strong (all your weight is on one leg), it helps to speed up your
metabolism. As a result, your body tends to gradually use fat rather than
accumulating it “for a rainy day” in the folds of the abdomen in response to the
calorie deficit that you create with proper nutrition and additional physical activity.

The second purpose of this exercise is to strengthen the gluteal muscles and help
reduce excessive lumbar lordosis. After all, if the bottom of your back is too arched,
then the stomach is too bulging. By removing the excessive bending of the spine
(typical for many people, whose job is called “sedentar y”), you make your stomach
visually flatter (plus you reduce the risk of hernias and protrusions).

8. Plank W ith Rolls

A plank with rips works out the muscles around the abdomen and thighs.

How to do:

1. Get on the floor on your elbows and knees.

2. Keep your neck in line with your spine. Look ahead.

3. Raise your knees and put your fingers on the floor.

4. Bring your knees together and breathe evenly.

5. This position is a plank. Stay in it for 30 seconds.

Now start moving back and forth for the next 30 seconds.

1. Lie on your side on the floor.

2. Support yourself with your right elbow and right leg. Your elbow should be
perpendicular to your shoulder. The left leg should be over the right. Keep your feet
together.

3. Knees should be straight. The thighs do not touch the floor.

4. Hold this position for 30 seconds. When you get used to it, you can hold this
position for 1–2 minutes. It makes no sense to hold on for more than 2 minutes: if
you feel that your abs have strengthened enough, then it is better to add the
number of repetitions and the number of approaches in other exercises.

5. Repeat for the second side.

Keeping in this position, you can raise and lower your leg up and down. This
movement will make the exercise more effective — the exercise strengthens not only
the abs, but also the hips and buttocks.
9. Deep breaths with abdominal retraction (“vacuum”).

This is a simple exercise that focuses on breathing instead of raising your heart
rate.

How to do:

a) This is similar to what we call the feline pose. Follow the steps below to do this fat
loss exercise properly.

1) Get on all fours, supporting your body with your knees and hands.

2) Take a deep breath and relax your stomach.

3) When you start to exhale, contract your abdominal muscles.

4) Hold this position for 15–30 seconds.

5) Repeat several times.

b) Another variation of this exercise is called the lift. Here’s how to do it:

1) Sit on a chair. Imagine that your belly is a lift going up.

2) Take a deep breath, using only your nose, and imagine that this is the first floor.
3) Exhale through your mouth and simultaneously press your belly towards your
spine, imagining that you are climbing to the fifth floor.

4) Exhale like this 5 times, squeezing your abdominal muscles each time.

5) Repeat the same 5 times.

c) You can tr y roughly the same thing with moving the pelvis for ward.

1) Place your feet on the width of your shoulders and bend your knees slightly.

2) Inhale deeply through your nose. Press your stomach towards your spine and at
the same time bring your hips for ward.

3) Do 6 sets of 5 reps.

Here are a few more variations on this effective belly fat loss exercise:

Warning:

If you have lung or heart problems, it is best not to do this exercise.

This exercise can only be done on an empty stomach, other wise exercise can lead to
stomach upset.

10. Captain’s chair:

The only thing you need to do this exercise is a chair.

How to do:

1) Sit on a chair. The back is straight, the shoulders are relaxed.

2) Grasp the chair with your hands as shown in the figure.

3) Take a deep breath.

4) As you exhale, lift both legs up so that your knees are close to your chest.

5) Hold on for 5 seconds. Don’t bend over or bend your back.

6) Slowly lower your legs and repeat.

Do 3–4 sets of 10 or more reps.

11. Lateral slopes:

Another effective exercise for getting rid of belly fat.

How to do:

1) Stand straight with feet together, arms at your sides.

2) Without lifting your legs, tilt your body as far as possible to the right, until you
feel tension in your side. The right hand should be pressed along the right thigh and
the left arm should be raised. Remain in this position for 15 seconds.

3) Return to starting position.

4) Now lean to the left. Hold on for 15 seconds.

Gradually, increase the time to 30 seconds.

Cardio exercises to remove belly fat (exercises # 12 — # 16)

Cardio is one of the most effective ways to lose belly fat. Cardio exercises are
extremely beneficial for losing belly fat. Doing cardio on a regular basis can also
provide other benefits — reduced stress, increased lung capacity, improved sleep,
and a sense of overall well-being.

12. Walking:

One of the best cardio exercises for losing belly fat is walking. Are you surprised?
Think it’s too easy to be effective? Well, then you should know that walking is a
great and effective way to burn belly fat. In fact, walking is excellent at burning fat
throughout the body. If you eat a healthy diet and walk at a moderate pace for 30–
45 minutes 4–5 days a week, you will see gradual weight loss.

This simple exercise improves metabolism as well as heart function. The increased
metabolism allows you to burn calories faster, which prevents the storage of fat
around the belly. Plus, walking reduces the risk of injur y and is a great workout for
beginners.
13. Running:

Do not allow your body to get used to certain exercises, making them a routine.
Hence, you need to switch sometimes. Tr y running. This is a great way to improve
heart function, burn calories and burn belly fat.

For the correct running technique, see the next video. Don’t be intimidated by the
phrase at the beginning about passing the TRP standards. This is really valuable
insight into proper running technique so that beginners don’t get used to mistakes.

14. Jogging:

If you don’t like running, tr y jogging. Studies have shown that jogging is more
effective at burning unwanted fat than weightlifting. This is one of the aerobic
exercise that is extremely beneficial for fighting obesity and keeping fit.

15. Cycling:

Another great cardio exercise to help you lose belly fat by burning calories. Make
sure your heart rate rises when you are cycling.

16. Swimming:

Swimming has all the benefits of cardio — from losing weight to keeping your body
toned — all at the same time! The swimming style you choose should be fast and
challenging to burn even more calories. It is worth starting with 1–2 visits to the
pool per week.
