Easy standing workouts for a flat belly

Achieving a flat belly is a common fitness goal for many people. While spot reduction is a myth, regular exercise combined with a balanced diet can help you tone and strengthen your core muscles, leading to a flatter midsection.

Kushal Pal Sing, Fitness and performance expert, at Anytime Fitness says, “Standing workouts are a convenient way to target your core without the need for any equipment or a gym membership. Today, we’ll explore six easy standing workouts that can help you work towards a flat belly.

Stand tall with your feet hip-width out.
– Lift one leg straight out in front of you while engaging your core.
– Hold for a couple of seconds before lowering your leg.
– Rep this action 10-15 times on each leg.
– This exercise concentrates on the lower core muscles. Place your feet at shoulder width and extend your arms straight out in front of you.
– Twist your torso to the right, keeping your hips stationary.
– Return to the center before moving to the left.
– Repeat this movement for twenty to thirty seconds.
– This exercise engages the entire core, including the obliques.
Stand with both of your legs hip-width apart and your hands behind your head, wide at the
elbows.
– Touch your right elbow to your left knee while rotating your torso.
– Repeat on the other side, bringing your right knee to your left elbow.
– Continue this motion for 10-15 reps on each side.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
– Place your hands on the wall in front of you.
– Walk your hands out until your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
– Hold this position in place for 30-60 seconds, keeping your core engaged.
– The standing plank is excellent for overall core strength. Reduce your diet of carbohydrates while increasing your intake of protein and fiber to help lose belly fat. Eat plenty of healthy fats and gut-friendly meals. People may increase their use of green tea and apple cider vinegar. Losing weight first won’t always follow a diet change.
