5 Great Stomach Exercises

Who doesn't want a flat stomach? the majority of people involved in weight loss believe that it's all about the calories. If you burn calories more than you take in, you lose weight. If you take in more calories than you can burn, the body gains fat. While this piece of logic may make sense, it is only partly true. What burns calories nonstop is actually the lean muscle mass underneath body fat that allows more intake of calories without weight gain.

Below are the great five variations of Stomach exercises as ranked by the study:

The Bicycle Exercise :

the best way to address the six pack and obliques. To do this: 
  • Lie on your mat and place your hands behind your head, supporting it lightly with your fingers. 
  • Bring your knees toward your chest and lift the shoulder blades off the floor without pulling on the neck. 
  • Turn left, bringing the right elbow towards the left knee, straighten the other leg. 
  • Switch sides, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee. 
  • Continue alternating sides in a move to "pedal" for 1-3 sets of 13-17 repetitions.

Chair Leg Raise :

The captain's chair is a training framework that allows you to do hanging leg raises. There are two arms of the chair on each side to support the weight of your body as you lift the legs that are either bent or straight. Doing a straight leg raise in the captain's chair is much more difficult and is something you have to work up to completion.
 to do this right you should follow this steps:

  • Do not let your back arch as you exercise.
  • Do not swing your legs. Lift them.
  • Make sure your movements are slow and controlled. Your movements should come from your ab region, not your upper body.
