The most widely popular ways of burning stomach-fat are doing crunches or sit-ups and other variations of it, exclusively targeting your abdomen. This is not very good use of your time. It is better to maximize your time by doing exercises that burn stomach fat as well as other muscle groups.
Below are five easy-to-do dumbbell exercises that can help lose belly fat and fast! You can put them together to make a routine or you can easily incorporate them if you already have one. Either way, these exercises are guaranteed to give you results sooner than you think!
Chest presses
Start by lying on a workout bench with a dumbbell in each hand (make sure you have the right weights for more effective results). Using both hands, press the dumbbells towards the ceiling until your arms are parallel to each other. Don’t forget to exhale while doing the press. Bring the dumbbells back down slowly. This exercise primarily targets the chest but it burns fat from your entire body.
Squats
Squats are hard enough to do by themselves. The added weight of dumbbells just makes this exercise harder to perform. The main thing to remember here is to make sure that you have the right set of weights. Make sure the added weight isn’t too heavy that you lose the right form. Also, know where your limits are. If you squat too deep, you might risk hurting your body. Slowly but surely is the best way to go about this.
Bicep Curls on a bosu ball
Bicep curls obviously target the biceps but an easy way to incorporate added abdominal strain is through the use of the bosu ball. It is simply done by standing straight on the ball and curling your biceps with dumbbells in each hand. By standing on a bosu ball while doing bicep curls, you wittingly use the stabilizing muscles on your abdomen to keep your balance.
Crunch with dumbbell
Crunches are effective in eliminating belly fat. But, as mentioned, it is a waste of time focusing on just one part of the body at a time when it is possible to target other muscles into the mix. A good example of this is to use dumbbells while doing crunches. This could go in two ways: place the dumbbell on your chest for added weight or hold it behind your head as you crunch up and down.
Stability ball exercises
Like the bosu ball two exercises back, a stability ball targets the stabilizing muscles in your abdomen. There are several exercises you can do on a stability ball. You can target your chest, back, triceps and shoulders and still put your abdominal muscles to work. Basically, you can do dumbbell exercises while lying or sitting on the ball and it automatically strains your belly.
These are only some of the exercises you can be doing that help you achieve a fit body. Go on, be creative and enjoy a healthy lifestyle!
