12-minute workout focusing on the abs to define and burn calories –

Anyone who thinks that, to conquer a flat stomach, you have to end up doing endless sit-ups is wrong. In fact, the part about “running out” makes sense, after all, metabolism incinerates more calories in high-intensity training. But the good news is that with just 12 minutes a day you can guarantee the same goal in a very dynamic way (shoo, boredom!). “Do not think. Just put on the leggings and go! Next thing you know, the series is over!” advises top personal trainer Lana Pessoa, creator of the online program Missão Belly Chapada. Simpler than you thought, right?

And even those who have never fallen in love with the gym will love the vapt-vupt workout on the next pages, which boosts fat burning and can be done at any time of the day, including at home. Extra advantage: the session level adapts to each person’s breath, that is, everyone can do it! “If you promote physical stimuli to the body and follow a healthy diet, you will soon conquer the abs you want”, guarantees Lana, who developed the following sequence. Write it down on your calendar, because in 30 days your fitness goal will be met!
