Easy Belly Fat Exercises You Can Do

If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, there are easy belly fat exercises you can do to help improve the look of your abs. And you can do these workouts at home – no need to pay gym memberships or buy fancy equipment. A cardio fitness workout with some strength training will help you find your abs under your belly fat. Take a few minutes a day to do this routine, and it can burn off about 150 calories a day.

This fat burning routine’s first two minutes are spent jumping rope. Do the traditional rope-jumping first, with two jumps for every time the rope goes by your feet. Be sure to use a rope that’s long enough, not a child’s “toy” jump rope, for safety reasons. When you land, let the balls of the feet absorb the impact. To motivate yourself, think positively, that you are losing weight.

The next two minutes should be spent in squat thrusts and push-ups. Stand with your feet as far apart as the width of your shoulders, and keep your arms at your sides. Squat slowly down, keeping your eyes forward, and touch your hands on the floor, beside the outsides of your feet. Make sure your hands point forward, too. Then, push your legs into the position for a push-up, so your legs will be behind you. Do one ordinary push-up and then resume the squat position. Then you may stand back up. As you work, remember your fat is vanishing as you exercise.

Next, jump rope again, for two minutes, but this time only do one jump every time the rope goes by.

Then proceed back to the squat position. Do the squat thrust and push-up again, but this time after the push-up, lift your left arm up and rotate it over your head. At the same time, you will feel your left foot naturally rotate and come to rest atop the right foot. Allow your neck to rotate as well, so that you are looking up. Rotate back to the original position, and repeat this exercise on your other side, too. After you have completed these, hop into the squat position and then stand, and begin again. Think to yourself, no more belly. Do this exercise series for two minutes.

The next two minutes, you will be jumping rope again, and with only one jump each time the rope travels under your feet.

Then for two minutes resume your squat thrusts and push-ups. This time you’ll be adding a leg lift. Do the squat and push-up as you did before, and then lift the toes of your left foot one foot off the floor, after the push-up. Lower that foot and repeat on the other foot. Jump back into the squat position and do the routine again. Think about wishing your belly a fond good-bye.

Next, return to jumping rope, with only one jump as the rope goes by.

Then relax and reward yourself with a long drink of water (don’t drink too quickly if you’re very hot). By engaging your muscles in this routine, your heart will become healthier, your belly fat will lessen, and your metabolic rate will increase. Be sure to couple this routine with a proper, healthy diet, as discussed with your health care professional.
