8 Exercises for a flat tummy

Updated: Nov 16, 2020


Losing belly fat is the hardest, they say. And when you want to strengthen your core and lose the flab, we most commonly resort to crunches. Here are some moves that can help you lose fat from the mid-section. Each of these moves stimulates and tighten the core muscles while burning calories.

  • Pike and stretch

Lie straight on the floor with your legs extended over your hips. Pull yourself up, like one would do while doing crunches ensuring that your hands reach towards your feet. Bring your arms back overhead, lowering your right leg towards the floor. Repeat the same with left leg. Repeat 20 times.



  • Bicycle crunch

Lie down with your back onto the floor. Bring your hands behind your head. Start with your legs bent at approximately 45 degrees angle; bring the right knee into the chest while straightening out your left leg. At the same time, rotate your top half bringing your right elbow to your left knee, then switch to the other side. Repeat 3 times, 1 minute each.


  • The boat pose

Begin in a seated position with your knees bent. Extend your legs so your body forms a right angle. Breathe comfortably throughout the move. Hold for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat 5 times.


  • The plank

Lie on your stomach. Bend your elbows directly under shoulders and clasp your hands. Your feet should be hip-width apart, and elbows shoulder-width apart. Contract your abs, then tuck your toes to lift your body. You should be in a straight line from head to heels. Hold for 30-40 seconds and repeat.


  • Lunge

Stand with your upper body straight and shoulders back and relaxed, and chin up. Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Make sure your front knee is directly above your ankle, not pushed out too far. Your other knee should not touch the floor. Keep the weight on your heels as you push back up to the starting position. Repeat with alternate legs.


Tip: Do you have stored body fat that you have tried to get rid of in the past but nothing worked?


  • Push-ups

Get into a high plank position. Begin to lower your body and keep your back flat and eyes focused about three feet in front of you. Push back up and keep your core engaged, exhale as you push back to the starting position. Repeat for 10- 20 times.


  • Squats

To perform this exercise, first stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Extend your hands straight out in front of you. Sit down like you're sitting on an imaginary chair. Keep your back straight. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor. Keep your body tight, and push through your heels to bring yourself back to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.

One Last Thing...

Drink this before breakfast To burn 2 pounds a day....

A maverick Japanese doctor recently leaked the secret ingredients of an ancient Japanese Tonic that targets the root cause of deep belly fat and activates a powerful little-known fat-burning hormone inside you…that MELTS away all your stubborn body fat.


Firefighter Mike Banner’s 45-year-old sister, Susan, lost 54 pounds in only 7 weeks with no exercise due to osteoarthritis in her damaged knee.

Make sure to drink this tasty potent Japanese Tonic before 10AM to melt twice as much fat as 1 hour on a joint-destroying treadmill.

In fact, some folks are losing up to 33.5 lbs of fat in just 30 days by simply drinking this tonic daily before 10am.
