In today’s article, we present a solution to quickly and effectively solve waist obesity, that is, the fat accumulated around it. Even if you put on a suitable wardrobe to hide this unwanted phenomenon, it continues to come to light.
Many want to know how they can lose the “flappers” or “love handles” (also known as “love handles”) around the stomach. Of course, the first condition for this is a healthy and moderate diet. Cardio workouts will help you reduce fat tissue throughout your body.
Although it is impossible to take the weight off certain parts of the body with specific exercises, you can strengthen those areas, and if you lose weight/body fat in general, those areas will look more toned.
With this in mind, we have a series of eight exercises that will strengthen your oblique and core muscles. Combine these moves with a regular cardio and strength training workout routine and a healthy diet (nutrition is 80% of your results!), and you’ll be well on your way to losing side fat.
1. Russian twist
You will need a medicine ball (as in the image) or dumbbells.
Sit on the floor, lift your feet off the ground and lean back slightly. It’s about keeping your balance in that position.
With your arms extended in front of you, twist to one side of your body and then the other.
A complete turn is a turn to the left, plus a turn to the right.
To make it more complicated you can do it with a medicine ball.
Repeat this exercise 10 times.
2. Side plank
First of all, you should lie on your right side with your legs extended and your feet and hips resting on the floor one on top of the other.
Next, your right elbow should be directly under your shoulder, as per the illustration, then contract your core muscles and lift your hips and knees off the ground.
You have to hold on as long as you can. And then return to the starting position. Then do the other side and repeat.
