5 Exercises To Eliminate Lower Belly Fat

I hate the fat on the lower part of my stomach

Yes... I've got some of that stuff to

It's annoying

It's ugly 

And probably the hardest fat to get off our bodies

It helps insulate our vital organs that are located in our abdominal area

So there is some good behind it

But it also has ties to diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and chronic inflammation

There's even research that shows that people that hold excess fat around there belly

Are much more likely to to develop other health problems like stroke, certain cancers and even dementia

So having that muffin top is not only not nice to look at 

It's also extremely bad for your health 

Now exercise is one aspect of the equation

The other is diet

And maybe i'll write a continuation of this blog but focused on the dietary side

But for now lets move on to my 

Top 5 exercises to eliminate lower belly fat

#1... Leg Scissors

This exercise is intense! 

Begin by sucking your belly button to the floor and engaging your deep abdominal muscles

Next lift both of your legs off the ground about 2-4 inches from the floor

With your legs in the air cross you legs over each other and repeat

Want to make the move a little more intense?

Keep your head off the floor

This will not only make the exercise more intense but it will help you to keep your lower back pressed into the floor​

#2... Knee In

This is one of those exercises that i add into almost every one of my clients workouts simple because it's just that good

Now if you've never done this exercise before you can do it on the floor instead of a bench

And it's just as effective

So lean back as far as you can until you feel your deep abdominal muscles begin to engage

Pull your belly button a little further into your spin 

And pull your knees into your stomach

Push your feet back out to the starting position and repeat

And remember to breath!

Want to make it harder?

Simply hold a 3-5 pound dumbbell between your feet

Feel the burn!

#3... Bicycle Crunch

Many of you have probably done this one before

It's an oldie but goodie!

The key to this exercise is your rhythm and your breathing

Lay flat on your back and place your right hand behind your head

Straighten out your legs and with a bent knee raise your left leg off the ground

At the same time with a straight knee raise your right leg off the ground

Raise your shoulders off the ground crunching and crossing your right elbow across your body 

At the same time bringing your left knee toward your incoming elbow

Repeat with your opposite arm and leg

#4... Kneeling Ball Roll Out

The further the ball is away from you the harder this exercise will be

Begin by kneeling in front of a stability ball

Place your arms on the ball and slowly roll the ball forward 

As you roll the ball further away from you focus on pulling your belly button in towards your spin

Go as far as you can and then use your deep abdominal muscles to pull the ball back to the starting point

Be extra cautious of your lower back on this exercise!

You might feel it slightly in your lower back which is fine but excessive stress in your lower back is not good!

If you're feeling it a lot in your lower back start with the ball closer to you and don't go as low.

Want to make this exercise harder?

Try kneeling on an elevated surface like a bosu ball

Next level burn!

#5... Side Plank W/ Hip Raise

This one not only works your lower abs but it also hits your love handles

Start off by firmly placing your forearm directly under your shoulder

Next stack your feet on top of each other and raise your hips as high in the air as possible

The higher the better!

Lower your hips to the ground 

But don't touch the floor

Stop right before you hip touches the ground and repeat

Want to make this exercise harder?

Hold a weight in your free hand 

Extending your arm straight up as if your were gonna touch the ceiling with the weight

Abs... Abs Baby!

My recommendation is to perform this ab routine 2-3 times a week working your way up to 4-5

Perform 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps or more for each exercise

Watch how much flatter your stomach looks in the next 4-6 weeks from doing this workout
