Fight Abdominal Fat
Want to whittle your middle without suffering through hundreds of boring crunches? Here are three ways to give your waistline a workout:
Dust off your tennis racquet
Those serves, forehands, and backhands are making more than your opponent work hard: The twisting motion in your torso gives those hard-to-target oblique muscles a workout. Plus, running across the court and to the net is cardiovascular exercise that’ll help burn the layer of fat that lies above your muscle tone (otherwise known as love handles).
Squeeze your abs when you’re sitting
Next time you’re stuck at a red light or in a meeting, contract your abdominal muscles (almost like you’re sucking in to button a too-tight pair of jeans). Hold for 15 seconds, breathing while contracting. Repeat five times or (even better) until your abs are fatigued.
Hit the mat
Yoga has been shown to help with a variety of health problems, and this ancient practice can also blast belly fat. With poses that bring a focus to the core, you’ll work all of the muscles in your stomach, sides, and back (an area that’s often neglected). Plus, a regular practice has been shown to help posture, which creates a longer, leaner appearance.
