Abdominal tightening is an ardent desire of both women and men, which can be achieved with seven simple exercises.
Although they may not have instant results, these exercises are especially effective if you do not give up and combine your efforts with a healthy lifestyle and diet.
The abdomen area is one of the most difficult parts of the body to tighten and tone, because it requires constant effort to maintain firmness and not to show relaxation around the waist.
Lack of exercise and unhealthy diet are the main causes of flabby belly and belly fat because, unfortunately, this is the part of your body where the effects of a sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary choices are most clearly seen.
A flat, tight belly can be difficult to obtain, but it is not impossible. There are many things you can do to achieve your goals, improve your overall figure and tighten your belly.
If you are one of those people who do not have time to go to the gym, try the following exercises to tighten your abdomen at home.
Take the classic position of the board, supporting your body on your forearms and toes. Make sure your elbows are just below your shoulders. The rest of your body should form a straight line from your neck to your heels.
Staying in this position, raise one leg. Hold it high for a few seconds before returning to the starting position. Repeat the same movement with the other leg. Make sure you tighten the abdomen area so that you exercise properly.
As in the previous exercise, support your body in the plank position with your forearms and elbows just below your shoulders, but this time place your feet on a low exercise bench or a ball.
Your whole body should be in a straight line, from the neck to the shoulders, with your head tilted slightly forward.
Pull your abdomen in and stay in this position for ten seconds. Rest for another ten seconds and repeat ten more times.
Lie on the floor on your left side in a position that allows your weight to rest on your left forearm and the outside of your left foot. Your elbow should be just below your shoulder and the top of your arm should be perpendicular to the ground.
Tighten your abdomen and try to stay in this position for thirty to forty seconds. Then change sides.
Starting from the same position as the previous exercise, raise your left leg and bend your knee so that your left foot is in the same line as your right knee.
Your body weight should rest entirely on your left forearm and the side of your right foot.
Stay in this position for thirty to forty seconds and then repeat on the other side.
Lie on your back with your arms outstretched to your side, your knees slightly bent and your feet flat on the floor.
While in this position, slowly raise your legs until your toes point to the ceiling and your hips are partially raised off the floor.
Slowly return your feet to the ground until you are in the starting position and repeat the same movement fifteen to twenty-five times, always with your abdomen tight.
Taking a dumbbell in each hand, raise your arms above your head and walk into the room tightening your abdominal muscles.
Take fifteen to twenty steps, rest and repeat.
This exercise is great for toning the abdomen and fighting flaccidity after losing weight.
Lie on your back on the floor with your legs open at hip level and your arms outstretched to the side, with your palms facing down.
Tighten your abdominal muscles to lift your hips off the floor first and then your abdomen and waist.
Keep your shoulders on the ground and try to stay in this position for ten to fifteen seconds before resting. Do four to eight repetitions at a time.
It takes a lot of patience and perseverance to see changes in your abdomen and body in general. It is important to include these exercises in your daily routine or at least do them three times a week.
