The traditional sit-ups do nothing to slim the belly because they only wrongly strengthen the abdominal muscles. A fitness scientist from San Diego State University tested the effectiveness of 13 of the most popular abdominal exercises and finally concluded that the four most effective “belly fat killers”. To achieve the best results, these four exercises should be chosen to do three groups every day, and each group should last 15 minutes. The goal is to sweat until the exercise.
Sit-ups
Lie flat on your back and bend your knees, hook your feet together on the head of the bed, put a towel behind your neck, pull one end of each hand, tuck your abdomen and lift your body, slightly off the bed, and keep it moving.
Ball lifting exercise
Lie on your back, holding a tennis ball in your hand with your arms extended to the sky, legs straight and together, feet hooked up. Tuck your abdomen to lift your shoulders and head slightly off the bed and keep moving.
Pedaling Exercise
Lie on the floor, press the floor under your back, place your hands behind your head, bring your knees up to a 45 degree angle, and do a pedaling motion with your feet, touching your left ankle to your right knee, followed by your right ankle to your left knee.
Knee lift
Sitting on the edge of a chair, lower your feet naturally to the floor, tighten your abdomen, lean back slightly, lift your feet a few centimeters off the floor, pull your knees toward your chest, while bending your upper body forward to maintain stability; then return your feet to their original position and repeat over and over.
