3 simple exercises to get rid of lower belly fat

You can do these three sitting exercises anywhere, even at work, to "get rid of" belly fat, considered the most stubborn type of fat.

Siobhan Sweet, a fitness trainer with over 29,000 TikTok followers specializing in weight loss for menopausal women, suggests three exercises to help people reduce belly fat. These are all easy exercises that can be done while sitting, anywhere, even at work.

Here are three exercises that can help reduce belly fat, as suggested by Siobhan:

- Elbows opposite knees: Sit on a chair, place both hands behind your head, and bend forward so that your right or left elbow touches the opposite knee. Lift your knee while performing the exercise.

- Open, close, and bring your legs together: While sitting, lift both legs while keeping them straight. Then, open your legs, close them, and bring them close to your chest.

- Touching toes: While sitting, alternately raise your right leg straight up and then your left leg, simultaneously extending your opposite arm to touch your toes.

"Perform all the exercises for 20 seconds and then repeat," Siobhan advises.

Aerobic exercise, along with a healthy diet, can also help reduce belly fat and overall body fat.

"Aerobic exercise includes any activity that increases your heart rate, such as walking, dancing, running, or swimming," says Laura Cartwright, a cardiac rehabilitation specialist and exercise physiologist at Wrexham Maelor Hospital (UK).

In addition, women can do housework, gardening, and play with their children. Other types of exercise such as strength training, Pilates, and yoga also help reduce belly fat.

The UK National Health Service (NHS) offers some advice on physical activity. Accordingly, all adults should increase their activity to all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abs, chest, shoulders, and arms) at least two days a week. They should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week.

Exercise should also be spread out evenly throughout the day or 4 to 5 days a week. At the same time, long periods of inactivity, such as sitting or lying down, should be reduced by incorporating some physical activity.
