We all want a workout routine that can be easy to manage and quick to do. And doing workouts for that elusive lower belly bulge stomach isn’t easy to do, especially with a tight schedule. However, there are easy exercises that can be done quickly and are easy to maintain.
Roll up
Lie down on your back and stretch your arms and extend your legs so you form a straight line. Inhale and bring your arms overhead and begin to curl your upper body off the floor. Next, exhale when you are halfway up and continue rolling forward to reach your toes. Inhale and reverse the move, exhaling halfway down, to return to start.
Leg drop
Raise both legs toward the ceiling and breathe to tighten your abs. Next, exhale and slowly lower your legs until they’re about four inches above the floor (or as low as you can go without lifting the small of your back). Pause and breathe in again and then, breathe out as you raise your legs to the starting position.
Scissors
Lie face up, hands behind your head, lifting head and shoulders off the floor. Using your abdominals, lift legs slightly off the ground and scissor kick, alternating one up and one down. Focus on not straining your neck or jutting your chin forward.
Frog crunches
Start by lying on mat with fingers at the base of your head and elbows pointed out. Bring the soles of your feet together, point your knees outward. Then, tilt your chin slightly forward and squeeze abdominals to lift chest upward. Keep arms and neck relaxed. Slowly lower down and repeat.
Plank crawl out
Stand up tall with your feet together and your core engaged. Bend at the hips and try to touch the floor. As soon as your fingertips hit the floor, walk your hands out until you reach a push-up position. Then, crawl your way back up to the starting position by inching your hands backward and piking your hips up to the ceiling. When your feet are flat on the floor, bend at the hips again and lift yourself back up to the standing position.
