The hip lift is one of the best ways to get rid of belly fat Start the exercise by lying flat on your back. Place arms at your side with palms open and facing the ceiling. Lift legs at a 90 degree angle. Keep feet pointed toward ceiling. Do not bend the knees. Keep knees as straight as possible. Gently lift hips. This movement contracts the abdominal muscles. Raise hips a couple of inches from floor then lower.
Have you heard of crunchless crunches? Traditional crunches place strain on the back and neck. They do little to get rid of belly fat and tone deeper abdominal muscles. Start by kneeling or lying on your back. Draw your belly button toward the spine and hold for ten seconds. Try holding the pose longer as you get stronger. The longer you hold the pose the more effective it is. Hold until you can't feel it or the other muscles are contracting harder.
The seated torso twist will not only get rid of belly fat but also trim your waist. Sit on the floor for this exercise. In a seated position, bend the knees until the feet are flat on the floor. Place feet hip width apart. Extend arms in front of you. Contract abs and lean back at a 45 degree angle. Holding contraction, rotate torso as far to one side as possible. Use the abs to control the movement so body doesn't move at once. Don't lead with arms. Keep arms in front with fingers laced. Rotate back to center then other side.
