Are you someone who is always looking for tricks to lose excess fat in the abdominal region and other areas? If so, of course, here are a few dozen cardio and other exercises to help you get rid of stubborn belly fat.
Don’t we all want to get rid of the thick, bulging riff on our jeans? Wear tight shirts and dresses with confidence. Show off and flaunt a set of perfectly good, toned abs in a crop top or sports bra. Famous fitness expert Bhavna Harchandrai said, “I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, ‘Your six-pack is made in the kitchen, not the gym.’ Going on a low-carb diet with fruits and high-fiber vegetables, sufficient protein intake, and avoiding simple sugars will help you in your efforts.
According to the expert, mindlessly doing crunches or sit-ups without incorporating the right full-body exercise program just strains your back and does little to shed stored belly fat.
So what’s the secret to getting those coveted “washboard abs”?
