5 standing crunches to tone the abdomen (20-minute routine)

The fat that accumulates in the abdominal area is undoubtedly one of the most difficult to eliminate. Adopting a proper diet is essential to get rid of it, but it is also necessary to follow a targeted training routine that allows you to act directly on the abdominal area.

However, not everyone can perform the classic abdominal exercises. Partly due to poor physical condition, partly due to back problems. Therefore, below we present 5 abdominal exercises that you should do standing up to burn fat and tone the abdominal area.

First exercise.

From a standing position, arms at your sides, perform a stationary walk. After 5 minutes, he extends his arms forward and bends his elbows. At the same time he raises his left leg. Repeat 20 times with each leg

Second exercise.

From the same position as the previous exercise, bend your left leg while bringing your elbows toward your ribs. Next, raise your arms forward, clasping your hands together (as if you were praying). Spread your hands apart and extend your left arm to the side as you lift the leg on the same side. Try to touch the toe with your hand. Repeat 20 times on each side.

Third exercise.

From a standing position, with your hands behind your head and your elbows open, shift your weight to your right side as you lift your left leg. Bend your torso, as if you wanted to touch your left knee with your right elbow. Repeat 20 times on each side.

Fourth exercise.

Perform a normal squat. As you stand up, lift your right leg out to the side, trying to touch the ball of your foot with your hand. Repeat 20 times on each side.

Fifth exercise .
