Abdominal fat is quite difficult and challenging to get rid of and is probably the most problematic body area in most people. However, not only it looks bad and makes one feel uncomfortable
7 Exercises to Reduce the Size of Your Belly
- Heavy Side Bend
Start in a standing position with the hands up and holding a dumbbell. Bend on one of the sides and hold for a couple of seconds. Repeat on the other side. Do 10 reps.
- Forward Bend
Begin in a standing position with the feet straight and together. Bend down to touch the feet with the hands. Do 10 reps.
- Mountain Climber
Begin in a push-up position. Jump on each leg interchangeably, lifting the knees near the chest.

Begin in a lying position with the arms extended behind the head and the feet closed together and pointing upward. Lift the legs while raising the entire body off the ground trying to reach the toes. Hold for a couple of seconds and go back to the original position.
- Bicycle
Begin in a lying position with the hands behind the head. Raise the legs in a 90-degree angle and rotate both the legs and the entire body like riding a bike.

Begin a push-up position with the elbows at a 90-degree angle. Hold as much as you can.
