So we have learned about the harmful effects of belly fat and the foods that can help get us fit in Decreasing belly fat part I &II. It’s time to get moving with some key moves that can trim that waist line.
In the gym you should try the decline crunch by using the decline sit up board. This should be used often when training your abs. It’s one of the most effective ways to train your midsection and build strength and power. The height of the board can be altered to decrease or increase the difficulty of the exercise. You can also mix things up by doing a crunch, full sit up, adding weights or performing slow declines.
At home or in the gym you can try bicycle crunches that are supposedly twice as effective as the crunch for ‘crunching’ your abs. This exercise is most successful when the movements are isolated. To perform this exercise extend one leg fully while the other is bent and touch your opposite elbow to the bent leg as if you are doing a twisting crunch. Then repeat for the other side without taking a break or dropping your torso back down. This way the whole time you are performing the exercise, your upper body is in a crunch position.
My favorite abs blasting move are planks, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHQmRINu4jU to learn how to perform this exercise properly.
It's important to include at least 30 minutes of cardio to your exercise regimen which will burn fat allowing the definition of the abdomen muscles more visible.
