Hello, my dear readers, admirers and all those who came to see us!

Today we are waiting for the continuation of the legendary article - how to remove belly fat. After reading, you will learn all the practical means that will help you get rid of the hated life preserver. We will look at nutrition, proper cleansing exercises, and the best types of aerobic activity to effectively reduce your waist size.

So, take your seats, it will be interesting.

How to remove belly fat? The practical side of the issue.

To be honest, I did not plan to continue the note on the “tummy” so soon, but readers, i.e. You, my dears, asked for the continuation of the banquet and the writing of the second part yesterday :). Well, because... I always try to listen to the wishes of my audience, so, in fact, it was decided not to pull the trigger and to highlight the practical side of the issue. Moreover, looking at the calendar, and today 27 February, I realized that there is not much time left until summer, and probably many reading these lines and experiencing “animal” problems will be pleased to see themselves in a new guise. Therefore, catch the continuation of the article on how to remove belly fat.

Note:
For better assimilation of the material, all further narration will be divided into subchapters

Well, I would like to start with the theory... just kidding, we laid down the theory a long time ago, in particular in the first part, so if you have not yet paid your respects to it, then be kind and do me a favor].

So, all snow removal work to get rid of the belly can be divided into 4 groups, or rather, areas of work:

adjustment of the food basket and meal plan;
correct press exercises;
proper aerobic activity;
recovery.

It is the correct actions in them that are designed to reduce your waist volume. Let's take a closer look at each of the presented areas.

Nutrition adjustments or how to eat to lose belly fat?

Only nutritional actions in themselves can solve the problem of cleaning the stomach for 75-80% . Therefore, pay close attention to nutrition.

The diet of the average person with a belly can be characterized as follows: what I see is what I eat. Such people usually do not have:

diet (meals at the same time);
understanding what to eat (in what quantity) and when possible;
prepared meals.

Often, the diet of such people is dominated by frequent unhealthy snacks - tea with gingerbread, waffles, coffee with a bun, etc. As for the percentage of the main nutrients of BZHU, it most often looks like this: proteins - 15-20% , carbohydrates – 60-65% , fats – 15-25% . In other words, most of the diet consists of carbohydrates and fats, and the wrong ones.

Therefore, if our goal is to lose belly fat, then we must adhere to the following percentage of nutrients.

As you can see, in such a diet much attention is paid to both carbohydrates and proteins; fats should also be present. Now let's understand what types of nutrients these are.

Squirrels

In a nutshell, include in your diet:

chicken breast;
chicken gizzards;
turkey fillet;
tuna fish;
Cod fish;
tilapia fish;
squid;
skim cheese;
egg whites.

These are the most budget-friendly options for quality protein sources.

Carbohydrates

Most likely, your diet does not have enough “long-lasting” carbohydrates, which is the reason for your frequent snacks and breakdowns on sweet buns, cheesecakes and other tasty treats. Long carbohydrates mean maintaining (for at least 2-3 hours) stable blood sugar levels, without creating peaks and troughs. By consuming them, the human body feels full much longer than when consuming simple (everything sweet and tasty).

Therefore, include the following carbohydrates in your diet:

buckwheat (kernels/seeds);
rolled oats/oatmeal;
pearl barley;
brown/wild rice;
coarse pasta (class A);
sweet potato (yam).

These products will provide the body with long-term sources of carbohydrates.

Fats

It would seem, why eat fats, because the goal is to lose weight and get rid of the belly. But no, you need fats. In particular, we need poly/mono-unsaturated fat sources that help combat the decrease in subcutaneous fat.

Therefore, include the following fats in your diet:

fish/bear oil in capsules;
flaxseed/camelina/mustard/olive oil;
nuts (almonds, walnuts).

Vegetables and fiber

Important nutritional components that help metabolic processes and food absorption. Vegetables and fiber must be present in your diet, because they help in the absorption and saturation of the body.

Therefore, include the following foods in your diet:

broccoli;
asparagus;
green beans;
Brussels sprouts;
mixtures of frozen vegetables;
bran from the pharmacy (for example, DR. Dias).

In general, your plate should change and look like this.

So, we’re done with the structure of nutrients, now let’s take a closer look at gastronomy, or rather...

The Best Foods to Help You Lose Weight and Get a Flat Stomach

Not many people know, but among common foods there are those that allow you to lose more weight and melt “animal” fat. In particular, these products include:

No. 1. Fish

When your diet is low in omegas 3/6 fatty acids, your pineal gland, which helps regulate the nervous system, “resets,” leading to changes in the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. As a result, such a deficiency leads to disruption of rest and trampling the path to the refrigerator at night, i.e. Simply put, you will be attacked by a glutton - you cannot sleep until you eat something.

Fish is a good source of PUFAs and is also rich in protein, which allows you to burn more calories than consuming fats and carbohydrates.

No. 2. Eggs

Contains vitamin B12, which the body needs to metabolize fats. Scientists from Louisiana State University found that people who ate eggs for breakfast every day lost more weight than those who didn't. There is a common belief that eggs (or rather the yolk in them) They raise cholesterol levels and you can’t eat too many of them. In fact, in a week, an active person who consumes enough water can eat whole eggs: a woman - 7-10 , man - 12-15 .

No. 3. Low-fat cheese

Parmigiano/Reggiano (Parmesan) cheese, rich in calcium, activates hormones responsible for burning fat. Due to the high protein content, a person will remain full for a long time. Finnish Oltermani cheese is also an excellent option. 9% .

No. 4. Milk

Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that 100 In premenopausal women, those who consumed the most calcium-rich foods had the most fat reductions. Thus, it was revealed that calcium helps in the fight against extra pounds. In addition, it helps you sleep and relaxes your nerves and muscles well. Therefore, a cup of milk before bed and yogurt throughout the day is a great option for those who want to get rid of belly fat.

No. 5. Nuts

In addition to healthy fats, nuts are rich in magnesium. This mineral is very important in terms of sleep. Research published in the journal Magnesium Research in 2010 year showed that people taking magnesium (including from nuts), slept much better compared to the placebo group. All this contributes to weight loss and reduction of food cravings.

No. 6. Green apples

In a Brazilian study, patients who ate 3 Apples a day while dieting lost more weight than those who didn't. Apples contain many nutrients and are a rich source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, dietary fiber, phytosterols, flavonoids, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. That's why 1-2 apples a day, please grind them down :).

No. 7. Avocado

This fruit has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It contains the amino acid lecithin, which prevents liver overload and helps reduce weight. In addition to being an excellent source of monounsaturated fat, avocados are also high in dietary fiber. (from 11 before 17 gr), pushing back the feeling of hunger.

No. 8. Celery

One of the lowest calorie vegetables, containing only 16 calories per 100 gr. It is also a rich source of vitamin C, calcium and magnesium. Drinking celery juice before meals helps you lose weight, so if possible, drink it in the morning immediately after waking up and throughout the day.

So, if we summarize all this nutritional chatter, we can come up with a comprehensive list of foods that help you lose weight and get rid of belly fat.

It is often problematic for a person to switch from his favorite foods to the right ones, and even more so to another (larger) number of meals. In these cases, the solution is to include healthy snacks in your diet. In particular, the following 10 products will allow you to effectively and usefully “close” your snack windows to reduce your waistline.

Our gastronomic part would be incomplete if we did not look at the meal plan for getting rid of belly fat. In particular, one of the days for a woman 55-60 kg may look like this.

Actually, we’re done with nutrition, now you know how to eat to get rid of the belly fat, and we move on to the body-motor part.

How to remove belly fat? Effective exercise and aerobic activity.

The first thing you need to decide on is time. On the Internet, literally at every step, they talk about miraculous methods for quickly getting rid of belly fat. The deadlines sometimes get ridiculous - 1-2 weeks. So, all this is nuclear crap :), during such a period of time, no pronounced physical changes can occur. Therefore, we immediately set ourselves up for long-term work and frameworks from 3 before 6 months.

Usually people want everything and quickly - to remove belly fat, get six-packs, and they have everything for everything 1 month. Those who are quick to help should ask themselves the question: “how many years did it take you to grow your belly?” Surely not 1 And 2 month, so be kind enough to spend time getting your loved one in shape.

So, we've sorted out the time continuum, now let's talk about 3 -x belly-disposal instruments:

abdominal exercises;
cardio sessions - aerobic activity;
interval training.

Let's look at each in more detail.

No. 1. Abdominal exercises

Their main goal is not to burn belly fat, but to develop the abdominal muscles. You can get “stoned” by doing certain exercises 50-100 repetitions. Yes, you will strengthen your abs, but you won’t be able to show them off due to the presence of fat on your stomach. Therefore, yes, abdominal exercises have a place in our training program, but not on their own, but in conjunction with actions in other areas - aerobic activity and nutrition adjustments.

As for the press exercises themselves, there are a ton of them :), however, we will not analyze them all, but will highlight only the most effective and progressive ones.

The following image will help us understand the latter.

Often, the abs can be effectively pumped up at home, without resorting to gym equipment, and the following exercises will help you in this home version.

As for the best abdominal exercises, recent research from the San Diego Institute of Biomechanics (USA) shows that indeed, there are exercises in which the electrical activity of the muscles is higher than in others. In particular, using electromyography, measurements were taken of each of the subsequent muscle groups - rectus, external/internal obliques for their activation in certain exercises. The results of the study gave such a list of the best abdominal exercises in general and for each department in particular.

Top 3 best abdominal exercises

bicycle lying on your back;
leg/knee lifts on parallel bars;
crunches on a fitball.

As for the best exercises for individual abdominal muscles, the situation is as follows:

straight/oblique m.f. - crunches on a fitball, reverse crunches, plank, hanging knees on a wall bars, vertical crunches (legs raised) lying on the floor, crunches with arm and torso raises, roller; bicycle crunches, side crunches lying on the floor.

The best exercise aimed at developing core muscle strength is. As for static exercises, there is no equal to vacuum in creating a flat stomach. The technique for doing the latter looks like this:

get on the floor on all fours, relax your stomach and take a deep breath.
exhale forcefully, completely emptying the lungs and causing the “navel to stick to the back.” After exhaling, tense all the abdominal muscles together and fix this position on 5-10 seconds
repeat 10 times in three approaches.

I also want to protect the ladies (and not only them) from unnecessary and frequently performed exercises to get rid of sides. Due to the inherent problem of many young ladies with the presence of sides/ears/breeches, they (the girls) can often be seen performing such “side” exercises as lateral bends in the hyperextension simulator and lateral crunches with dumbbells. So, these exercises do not remove the sides, but on the contrary, they expand your waist due to the swing of the oblique muscles. Therefore, by performing them, you can definitely hope for a “distribution” of your waist.

II. Aerobic activity

Is one of the most effective ways to burn calories and show muscle (including abdominal muscles). Cardio sessions are extremely important for people who want to lose belly fat, so you will have to move your buns :) and on a regular basis.

Not many people like to run, so what, then we can forget about a flat stomach? No, there are many other ways to burn calories, in particular, here is their list and time frame:

walking, speed 5-6 km/h, duration 40 minutes, 4-5 once a week;
jogging on terrain, low intensity, duration 35-40 minutes, 2-3 once a week;
pedaling on a stationary bicycle, medium intensity, duration 40-45 minutes, 3 once a week;
cycling around the city, moderate/medium intensity, duration 35-40 minutes, 3 once a week;
swimming in the pool, high intensity, duration 1 session ( 40 minutes) 2-3 once a week.

As for the other implicit ways to lose weight, they are as follows.

Choose what you like, put your hands on your feet and go!

How to Use Cardio for Maximum Fat Burning?

To force the body to effectively lose fat, it needs to combine loads, in particular, strength training (with iron) and cardio together. Most often, such extraordinary measures can be applied to (people with increased body fat and a tendency to accumulate it) and intermediate types, mesomorphs-endomorphs.

In particular, in this case, the following scheme will help burn fat as much as possible:

exercises with iron - squats with jumping up with a barbell, push-ups, dips. Duration 20-25 minutes;
cardio activity - elliptical trainer, pedaling. Duration 30-35 minutes at a moderate pace.

It is also important to take a rational approach to cardio training and try to devote the proper amount of time to it, dividing it into small sessions if it is impossible to perform aerobic activity in one sitting. For example, 60 minutes per day can be divided into 20- a minute jog in the morning and 40 minutes after work.

III. Interval training

One of the most promising ways to burn fat in a short time. Interval training involves alternating between high and low intensity exercise. The point is to regulate the body's operating mode, first training at a fast pace, and then giving it the opportunity to recover. An example of interval training is light jogging for 5 minutes, then 2 -x minute sprint, then slowing down to a jog and again returning to 2 -x minute sprint. The average duration of such alternations should be within 20 - minute interval.

So, from a fat burning point of view 20 minutes of interval training replaces us 40-45 minutes of pedaling.

IV. Rest/recovery

Last but not least, rest. Training is training, but the body must recover and accumulate energy reserves so that you can exercise effectively and feel adequately during the day.

Sleep plays an important role in metabolic processes and the body’s ability to effectively get rid of fat deposits; its lack or irregular sleep pattern negatively affects the physique. Particularly when we're awake 7-8 hours a day, our body produces less leptin (there is a feeling of not being full with the usual amount of food) and enhances ghrelin production (feeling hungry). The more tired we are from lack of sleep, the more and more we want to hamster.

Note:
If you sleep on two nights in a row 2-3 hours less than usual, our body will begin to produce 15% less leptin and 15% more ghrelin.

Therefore, sleep is extremely important in the diet of a person who wants to get rid of belly fat and is simply watching his figure. The amount of sleep should not exceed 8 watches for women and 7 watches for men. In this regard, you should not press the pillow on a day off for longer than usual - this will not lead to anything good, and on the contrary, it will increase the likelihood of the body being exhausted for the whole day.

As for the processes occurring in the body during sleep, they are as follows.

Conclusion - sleep in moderation, adhering to sleep cycles.

Uff-f, we've already exceeded 2500 symbols, and the equator is still not visible to any eye... just kidding, this was the last “serious” writing, now let’s sum it up.

Afterword

The largest article of the project, entitled “How to lose belly fat,” has come to an end. Now you have a clear plan and instructions on how and what to do, all that remains is to put theory into practice, but you can do this just fine without me, good luck and flat buttocks to all!

Hard abs, coveted abs... A dream? If it is a dream, it is quite achievable for both men and women. Although it will take a lot of work to bring it to life. Exercises for the abdominal muscles require serious energy expenditure, but the reward is worthy: a perfectly flat stomach. How can this be achieved?

Our abs are supported by two types of muscles: the rectus and oblique. The developed rectus muscle gives a beautiful, flat stomach, while the oblique muscles are designed to strengthen the sides. Each of the types requires individual development - to remove the stomach, but, for example, just lifting from a lying position will not work.

By themselves, during the day, these muscles do not pump up, like, for example, our legs or arms that we constantly use: in order to strengthen them, we will have to purposefully allocate time for training. Be prepared for the fact that even the most effective exercises will not bring immediate results: removing excess fat and creating a beautiful silhouette will take more than one month.

If the upper part of the rectus muscle can be pumped relatively quickly, then the lower part is in no hurry to strengthen. And it’s not so easy to tighten the sides. It is also noteworthy that for men this task is much more feasible than for women.

No discrimination, just a wise mechanism laid down by nature: women have much fewer nerve endings in this part of the rectus muscle, so that they do not experience too much pain during menstruation and during childbirth. In addition, a wider fat layer is needed for mechanical protection of the baby forming in the tummy of a pregnant mother. A man, of course, does not need to protect or protect anything.

Diet for perfect abs

Exercise is great, but to get rid of your belly and sides, you have to stick to a diet, no matter how you look at it.

If your goal is to lose excess fat, and not build muscle mass, like professional athletes or bodybuilders, try to follow a few simple rules:

down with fatty foods, smoked foods, canned and processed foods, mayonnaise and fast food;
give up any baked goods, bread made from refined and bleached flour, sugar, and sweets. Dark chocolate and honey can serve as consolation for you in such a restriction, but in small quantities;
replace fast carbohydrates in the diet with slow ones (porridge, fruits);
place a taboo on alcoholic drinks (their consumption leads to dehydration), any carbonated water, salt (it retains unnecessary fluid in the body);
a separate point, which concerns, of course, men to a greater extent - no beer! Those who like to drink a liter or two of foamy drink per evening run the risk of acquiring not hard cubes, but a very soft beer belly;
Make sure that you consume at least 30 ml of regular drinking water per 1 kg of your weight per day.

Swinging according to the rules

Removing the stomach and sides is only possible if all exercises are performed correctly. Whatever effective techniques you choose as your allies, you need to strain the abdominal muscles, and not the back, legs or, for example, arms, as is often the case with beginners, outright lazy people and those who incorrectly distribute the load.

To avoid this, follow a few rules:

warming up is a must: turning your neck, swinging your arms, bending, lunging, on which you will spend 10 minutes in addition to the main workout, will help warm up your muscles, prepare them for the upcoming load and protect them from possible sprains and injuries;
overly active strength exercises are more suitable for men. Women prefer muscle stretching, which also brings excellent results;
The back in most cases should be rounded. Stretching into a string is unacceptable: strain on the back and lower back is prohibited;
each exercise must be repeated at least 20 times at a fairly fast pace, gradually increasing the number of repetitions;
do the exercises as soon as possible. And don’t worry if your speed is very slow at first: over time, you will master the most difficult exercises performed at a fast pace;
you cannot spread your knees to the sides; they should always be in line with your toes;
strive to ensure that your abdominal muscles are constantly tense;
do not neglect stretching (this rule is also relevant for men): after performing the exercise, lie on your stomach, rest your hands on the floor, lift your torso with outstretched arms and bend your back. The abdominal muscles should stretch slightly. This way you provide the body with an additional flow of oxygen, record the results achieved and prepare the muscles for the next workout.

10 best exercises

These exercises, designed for both men and women, will help you get rid of your belly and sides in just a few weeks. The starting position in all cases is on the back.

Legs raised and bent at the knees, hands behind the head. Slightly tighten your abdominal muscles, lift your shoulders off the floor, using the rectus abdominis muscle. After holding this position for 2-3 seconds, lower yourself back to the floor.
Raise your legs up so that they are perpendicular to the floor. Tighten your abs and use your abdominal muscles to lift your hips off the floor. The back should remain motionless.
Feet are shoulder-width apart, hands behind your head. Stretch your shoulder towards the opposite knee, while your other elbow should be securely fixed to the floor. Once on the floor, stretch your other shoulder in the opposite direction. The sides must be involved.
Legs raised and bent at the knees, hands behind the head. Tighten your abdominal muscles, gently lift your shoulders, then pull one knee to your chest, straighten your leg and lift it to the starting position. Change your leg.
The starting position is the same as in the previous exercise. Lift your shoulders and shoulder blades off the floor and lift your upper body. After holding this position for a few seconds, lower yourself to the floor.
Legs are straight, arms are extended along the body. Using your abdominal muscles, slowly raise your legs until they form 90 degrees with the floor, hold in this position for 2-3 seconds, and carefully lower them to the floor.
Hands apart. Straight legs should be closed and raised perpendicular to the floor. Gently lower one leg to the side, making sure it forms a 90-degree angle with your body. Almost touching the floor with your foot, return it to its original position. Do the same for the other leg. This way you strengthen your sides and help the body remove excess fat from problem areas.
The starting position is the same as in the previous exercise, but this time lower your legs down not alternately, but both at once - in one direction and the other.
The legs are closed and raised perpendicular to the floor. Place your hands palms on top of each other. Lifting your shoulders off the floor, try to reach your toes with your hands.
Hands along the body. Raise your legs perpendicularly up, bend them at the knees so that your shins are parallel to the floor. Gently lower your bent knees alternately to the right and left.

These simple, but very effective exercises for both men and women will help you remove excess fat, form a beautiful belly and slender sides in the shortest possible time. The main thing is not to be lazy. Go for it!

Faced with the problem of excess fat in the sides and abdomen, many people, especially women, often think about how to solve it in order to get rid of unnecessary fat layers and excess weight.

It's no secret that losing weight quickly without doing physical exercise to eliminate fat is almost impossible. And it’s best to approach weight loss comprehensively - cleanse the body, optimize your diet, and normalize your daily routine.

Remove belly and sides exercises. The most effective sets of exercises for all muscle groups of the abdomen and sides will allow you to achieve a slim figure, provided they are performed regularly.

You should choose the optimal time for wakefulness and rest, as well as eliminate fat deposits physically every day by performing the most effective exercises for losing weight.

We will practice this approach to quickly remove excess fat from the abdomen and sides.

To lose weight and quickly remove your belly and sides, you need to perform the most effective exercises every day, regularly increasing the load.

The set of exercises is designed for 1.5-2 hours of work per day, which corresponds to the recommendations of physical training trainers.

To avoid possible injuries and stress for an unprepared body, before any physical activity it is necessary to warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.

Warm-up

Exercise 1. Preparing the muscles of the thighs and sides for the main load

Starting or first position. The person must stand on the floor. His legs should be spread shoulder-width apart, and his hands should rest with his palms on his waist. Do bends alternately in different directions, without removing the palms of your hands from your waist.

For beginners, the optimal number of repetitions in this exercise is from 4 to 9 times per approach to bending.

For experienced people who have an understanding of physical activity, the number of repetitions in the exercise is from 10 to 16 times in a bending approach.

Exercise 2. Preparing the side muscles to take on the main load

Starting position: stand on the floor. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and your hands should rest with your palms on your waist. Lean forward and then lean back, trying not to change the position of your hands.

Before starting a workout, you should stretch your muscles well to increase the effectiveness of the exercises and reduce the likelihood of injury during exercise.

For beginners, the optimal number of repetitions of the exercise in a set is from 5 to 8 times. For experienced people familiar with physical activity, the optimal number of repetitions in the exercise is from 10 to 16 times per approach.

You should move smoothly to avoid unnecessary traumatic stretching.

Exercise 3. Preparation for the main load - warming up the muscles of the thighs, legs and sides

Starting position: stand straight, eyes looking forward. You should run in place.

For beginners, the duration of running in the exercise is from 30 to 60 seconds. For people who have an understanding of physical activity, the duration of running in the exercise ranges from 1 minute to 3 minutes.

When performing this exercise, you should raise your feet high to properly stretch the muscles of your legs.

Core Load Exercises

Exercise 1. Abdominal pumping with training of all abdominal muscles

This exercise should be performed while lying on a special gymnastics mat or simply on a home rug that lies on the floor. Starting position: Place your hands with your palms under your buttocks.

Feet should be lifted off the floor by 5 cm (for beginners) and up to 15 cm (for “experienced”).

The separation increases gradually, 0.5-1 cm per day. In this position, the person imitates “scissors” by crossing his legs alternately. It is recommended to spend 5-8 minutes of the allotted total time to complete this exercise.

Exercise 2. Main goal: training all oblique abdominal muscles

Starting position: stand on a special gymnastic or home carpet on your knees, with your arms along your body. This exercise should only be performed in the starting position.

Keeping your shins straight, you first need to sit yourself on the mat to one side, slowly lowering your hips. Then rise up and sit yourself on the mat in the other direction.

Lowering your hips and moving to a new position, you should spend a few seconds in it with each repetition.

For beginners, the duration of the exercise depends on the number of repetitions (from 5 to 10 times) in one approach, holding for 2-6 seconds. in every position.

For already experienced people who have an understanding of physical activity, the duration of the exercise is the number of repetitions in one approach from 10 to 20 times on different sides, with a delay of 3 to 5 seconds. in every position.

Exercise 3. Training the transverse abdominis muscle

This exercise is necessary. Not only the abdominal muscles will be involved here, but also the transverse muscle. Starting position before starting the exercise: kneel down with support on the palms of your hands in a “kneeling” position.

It is necessary to squeeze your leg at the knee and pull it to your chest, press it as tightly as possible and hold in this position for several seconds (up to 5-7), straighten your leg. After straightening the leg, return to the starting position.

Despite the difficulty of performing it, the exercise is worth it.

Exercise 4. Training all abdominal muscles

When performing this exercise, not only all the muscles of the sides will be involved, but also all the abdominal muscles, including the transverse one.

Starting position: lying on your side on the mat. You need to lie down in such a way as to form an even angle of 45 degrees between your body and the floor, support is on one hand, and the other should be on your waist.

When performing this exercise, you must keep a straight back, excluding lowering or raising the pelvis.

For beginners, the number of approaches is 2 on each side. Each approach contains from 6 to 10 repetitions. For experienced ones - 4 approaches on each side. Each set contains from 15 to 25 repetitions.

To get maximum results, experts recommend gradually increasing sets with repetitions over 21 days. The break between sets is from 30 to 45 seconds.

Exercise 5. Burning excess fat on the stomach and sides

Helps get rid of excess fat on the stomach and sides. During its execution, not only the weight of the abdominal muscles (including the transverse one), but also all the muscles of the sides will be intensively involved.

Starting position: lie down, relaxing on the carpet (gymnastic mat or regular one), raising your arms and placing your palms under your head. Legs should be tucked.

Alternating between knees and elbows in a symmetrical cross, perform 50 repetitions, regardless of whether the person is a beginner or an experienced one.

Exercise 6. Training the abdominal and side muscles

By performing this exercise, all muscles will be involved, especially the abdominal and lateral muscles.

Starting position: lying on your back on a special gymnastic mat or regular carpet, your legs should be extended. Keep your knees and feet together and your toes pointing in different directions.

By spreading your arms to the sides, you need to try to lift your torso and reach the tips of your toes. Then raise your legs at an angle of 45 degrees. Do this so that your back, in your lumbar region, touches the floor.

This exercise effectively trains the abdominal muscles. When performing it, you need to keep your back straight.
Delay in position 3-5 seconds. Then you need to exhale and lower your torso to the floor.

Perform the exercise for 50 repetitions, regardless of whether a beginner or an experienced person is doing it.

Exercise 7. Training all abdominal muscle groups using dumbbells

When performing the exercise, all muscles will be involved in full (sides, abdominals, even the transverse abdominal muscle). The exercise uses dumbbells.

Starting position: To start the exercise, you need to stand up straight and relaxed. Feet are shoulder-width apart. Then take dumbbells weighing from 1.5 to 3 kg.

Having dropped to one of your knees, you should push the dumbbells with swinging movements in asymmetrical directions. Making sure the knee bend is maintained at 90 degrees for beginners. Then change the knee and do the exercise again.

For beginners, the total number of approaches is no more than 2 per knee, with each approach from 6 to 10 repetitions. For experienced people - 3-4 approaches per knee, if desired, you can add 2 more approaches. Each set contains from 15 to 25 repetitions.

Exercise 8. Training with dumbbells

This is also a dumbbell exercise. When performing it, the same muscles will be involved as in exercise 7. But the algorithm for its implementation is slightly different than in exercise 7.

Starting position: stand up straight, eyes looking forward. Take a few steps in place with weights - dumbbells. Continuing to walk, move 1-2 steps forward. Get down on one knee, then raise your arms and return to the starting position.

Repeat the entire movement again, but lower yourself to the other knee.

Beginners can alternate 2 sets on each knee, doing 5 to 10 reps in each set. Experienced people can perform 4 approaches alternately on each knee. Each set contains 10 to 20 repetitions.

Exercise 9. Training all lateral muscle groups

Not only the abdominal muscles, but also all the muscles of the sides are involved in its implementation. Starting position: Lie down on a gymnastics mat or floor with your legs tucked in and forming an angle (with the mat) of 90 degrees.

Stretch your legs as much as possible so that your knees can touch your chest. Next you should return to the starting position. Beginners should start the exercise with 2 approaches. Moreover, do at least 10 repetitions in one approach.

For experienced ones, you should start doing the exercise with 4 approaches and at least 15-25 repetitions.

To achieve the best effect, you should consistently increase and regularly increase approaches: 2 approaches for each subsequent day.

The maximum number of approaches is no more than 12. Performing this exercise requires all possible concentration and concentration from a person.

Effective exercises for the sides

Exercise 1. Training all lateral muscles

Starting position: lying on your back on a gymnastic mat, your hands should be clasped together and placed on top of your head, and your legs should be brought together at the knees with your shins turned to the sides.

How to remove belly fat after childbirth at home

An ideal flat stomach is the dream of any woman, but after the birth of a child, many are faced with the problem of a saggy belly.

Experts assure that the very next day after giving birth you can begin to restore your figure. But at the same time, they highlight one of the most important and safe exercises - abdominal retraction. It is very easy and simple to perform - you need to pull in your stomach, fix your abdominal muscles and stay in this position for a while. The peculiarity of the exercise is that it must be done as often as possible.

In the future, focusing on their own well-being, women who gave birth naturally are allowed to gradually complicate their workouts. In the absence of contraindications, within a week you can begin to pump up your abdominal muscles and do low-intensity aerobic exercise.

Recovery from a caesarean section usually takes much longer. This fact is due to the fact that after any surgical intervention, the female body needs time for the final healing of the existing sutures to occur. Doctors assure that it will be possible to get rid of a sagging belly after a caesarean section no earlier than in two to three months.

If you want to lose belly fat after a caesarean section at home, you should consult your doctor before you start exercising or going on a diet.
