easy exercises to lose belly fat

Do 3 sets of each of the 4 moves, performing as many reps (1 second up, 1 second down) as possible

until you feel a burning sensation in the muscles you’re working or you can no longer maintain proper

form. Rest 15 seconds between sets. You’ll likely be able to do more reps during earlier sets and exercises--

and that’s okay. After you can do 50 reps or hold a plank for 2 minutes for most sets, try the “Make it

Harder” variations, change the order of the exercises, or do the moves after another type of workout.

3 days a week

Do the Slim Belly Workout moves on 3 nonconsecutive days to tone your midsection.

5 days a week

Do 30 to 40 minutes of cardio, such as brisk walking, swimming, jogging,

or bike riding, to burn off belly fat. You should be breathing hard but still able to talk in short sentences.

Every day

Watch portions and fi ll up on whole grains, vegetables, fruits, lean protein,

and healthy fats to maximize results. Aim for 1,600 to 1,800 calories spread evenly

throughout the day. To keep tabs on your eating, go to prevention. com/healthtracker.
