According to health experts, a waist of more than 102 cm in men and 88 cm in women can be a sign of abdominal obesity. Visceral fat can affect insulin production and even increase the level of stress hormones in the body over time, so it’s crucial to keep the abdominal area in shape.
O awesome.club gathered the most effective exercises that can help melt your belly fat faster.

Starting position: Lie on your back, knees bent at a 90 degree angle and hands placed behind your head.

Inhale and lift your upper torso off the ground. Keep the position for 5 seconds. Exhale and extend both legs to a 45 degree angle. Hold the posture for longer

How to run:
Squeeze your glutes and lift your hips off the floor to form a bridge. Hold this position for about 2 or 3 seconds and then slowly lower your hips back. Lower and raise your hips 12 to 15 times, then switch to the opposite leg and complete the same number of repetitions.
1. Leg lifts
Starting position: Lie on your back with your arms at your sides and legs straight.
How to run:
Raise your upper body and place your elbows just below your shoulders so your forearms and upper arms form a 90-degree angle. Engage and squeeze your abs and lift both legs so your heels are 10 inches off the floor. Then lower them back without touching the floor. Repeat about 15 times.
Bonus: When is the best time to exercise?
Exercise first thing in the morning (approximately 7 am) on an empty stomach will help to increase your metabolism, burn more calories throughout the day and improve your sleep. However, do not forget that exercising right after getting out of bed requires a good warm-up.
During the period between 14:00 and 18:00, your body temperature reaches its highest level and your reaction time is the fastest, which means your body is ready for an intense workout. So, at this point, you only need a minimal warm-up because the chances of injury are the lowest.
