10 MINUTE WORKOUT FOR A FLAT BELLY

Having a flat tummy is pretty much the ultimate goal for people who work on their fitness. Belly fat is the first to show and the last to go. We can’t help but want a flat tummy! But why do we love him so much and even more… why do people find him so sexy?

Because it screams healthy! Yes… subconsciously we all want a healthy partner to have healthy babies. We are so basic sometimes! But it’s actually very good that God designed us this way.

And on another note, there has been research showing that if your waist measures 35 or more inches for women or 40 or more inches for men, you likely have a potentially dangerous amount of belly fat that carries many health risks. like diabetes, aches and pains, and even cancer to name a few.

Do not panic. The minute you start to lose fat, you start to reduce your risk. Slow and steady still completes the race 🙂 So let’s lose that belly fat not only for our looks but also for our health!

10 MINUTE FLAT BELLY TRAINING

You don’t have to use weights when you’re just starting out, but they’re great when you’re really looking to sculpt those abs. Just 3, 5, or 8 pound dumbbells are fine. This is the set of weights that I recommend.

This is what it will be like to do this training. It’s only 10 minutes, so you have to push yourself. I recommend using a free interval timer app on your phone so you don’t have to keep looking down to reset the timer. Here is the one I use on my iPhone.. Just select “intervals”, then the + button, round timer, enter 10 rounds and press start when ready. You can even enter 5-10 second rests between sets in the app.

We’re going to do each workout below for 50 seconds each and take a 10 second break in between. That’s all. Super simple. But you have to press since we are taking these little breaks!

I recommend doing this workout 2-3 times a week. Alright, let’s go for that flat tummy!

*Tip: You can also do mini-workouts throughout the day using these exercises. Or combine them with other 10-minute workouts to tone your entire body.

1. LUNGE TWISTS

As: Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart. If you are using a weight or medicine ball, hold it in front of you. If not, extend your arms in front of you. Lunge with your right foot. While bending the knee, turn your upper body to the right. Don’t twist your knee. Reach to your right side with arms outstretched. Slowly bring your arms back to center and step your right foot back to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. Repeat the exercise for 50 seconds. Rest for 10 seconds.

2. WINDMILLS (Both sides 1 min)

Slightly bend your left knee and let your left hand slide down your leg. Try to get as close to the ground as possible. Pause briefly and return your upper body to the starting position.
