Tips
1. Make sure you suck in your belly button toward your spine
before curling off the floor. This activates twice as much
muscle activity and makes each move more effective.
2. When doing the Belly Busters breathe through your nose
and out through your mouth. Breathe with full inhalations and exhalations. Exhale
when your muscles are tightening and inhale when your muscles are
lengthening.
3. Include a cardio activity 30 minutes a day, 5 days a
week. Once you shed excess belly fat you will start seeing
your new “abs”.
4. Limit your alcohol intake. Alcohol drinkers who consume
more than three glasses per sitting have more belly fat than moderate
or non-drinkers. Try to limit your alcohol intake to one
glass or less per day. Alcohol can also raise levels of cortisol,
the stress hormone. Cortisol helps your tummy to store fat.
5. Eat fiber. Fiber helps fight constipation that
can give your abdomen more roundness. A bowl of yummy raspberries
is loaded with fiber.
6. Drink water. It is calorie-free
and keeps you hydrated.
7. Improve your posture. Start sitting up straighter. Sit
with your shoulders back, chin up and your lower back pressed up
against the chair.
8. Keep a slow, steady pace while doing the Belly busters. Focus
your attention on doing these exercises properly. Proper
form and moving slowly will make your session more efficient. If
you experience any pain, stop. And if you have back issues,
speak to your doctor before beginning these Belly Busters
program.
Variations
You can add a great Belly Buster variation
by including an exercise ball to your routine. If you have
a delicate back an exercise ball is a great way to incorporate
tummy exercises, perk up your routine and build better balance.
