How do you start?

First things first, stretch! Stretch your arms and legs, touch your toes, do some jumping jacks. Get warmed up. 

Next, start with the following:

1. Skipping

It might come as a surprise but skipping isn’t only effective in burning fat. It also tightens the core, builds stamina, tones the calves, and improves lung capacity. A super workout, indeed, and the best bet when it comes to exercises for belly fat.

How do you get started?

If you are new to skipping, don’t worry, it won’t take long to get good at it. To help get a good idea, we have added a GIF below. Start by mimicking her jumps without the skipping rope. Once you get it right, grab a skipping rope! You can check our Velocity Jump Rope to get yourself one. Now go a few rounds with the rope and within no time, you will be a pro. 

Target : 100 skips per set but If you get tired, do at least 60.
Total sets: 5

2. Mountain Climbers

A mix of cardio and muscle training, the mountain climber workout is one you’ll enjoy! It is one of the best exercises to reduce belly fat and added bonus? It even works on your deltoids, biceps, triceps, obliques, quads, hamstrings and hip abductors. All of this without a single piece of equipment. Now isn’t that motivating enough to start?

How? 

It’s super simple! Get in the high plank position, either on the floor or a yoga mat for better grip. Bring your right knee towards your chest, while the left stays as is. Then the other knee. Now blaze with all the pace you’ve got! 

Too simple? For the advance ones out there, challenge yourselves with a pair of gliding discs under your feet. 

Target : 80 (40 - each leg) per set. If you get tired, do at least 50.

It also works on multiple parts of your body including your chest, shoulders, lats, triceps and of course, your core.

Ever dreamt of a body as chiselled as that of professional swimmers? Well flutter kicks is the one for you then. It’s a workout swimmers swear by, as it works the lower abdominal muscles, reshaping and toning your lower body. 

How? 

Lie down on your back, place your hands below your waist and lift both the legs above the ground a little and start lifting alternate legs higher up in the air. Take a look at the GIF below to get it right.

Total sets: 5
Total Calories Burnt: 30-50 in 3 Sets 

5. Crunches 

Who does not want those 6 packs abs? Well this is where you start. Crunches are heavily focused on your abs and toning the midsection by strengthening the core making way for those abs. There are no one type of crunches, the idea is to engage your abdominal core, you can do that in several ways.

How to? 

One way to perform crunches is to lie down flat on a sturdy yoga mat with knees bent and feet on the ground. With your hands behind your head, lift your upper torso off the floor. 

Target : 30 per set. Minimum 20.
Total sets: 5 Sets/Workout
Total Calories Burnt: 30-50 in 3 Sets
