Want Summer Body? Do These 2 Belly Fat Exercises While Watching Netflix In Bed
Looking to get in shape for the perfect summer beach bod without leaving your bed?
Bed exercises for belly fat
According to research from Sweden, muscle fatigue induced by resistance-style or weighted workouts can effectively burn fat. Incorporating exercises that specifically target the stomach muscles can help tone your belly while simultaneously burning fat.
Try these two belly fat exercises while watching Netflix:
1) Jackknife Sit-Ups
Sit-ups engage more muscles than just the abs. However, opting for a variation like jackknife sit-ups can intensify the workout for your abdominal muscles, leading to quicker muscle fatigue.
How to do Jackknife Sit-Ups
- Lie flat on your back with your arms stretched overhead and legs straight out, forming a V-shape.
- Tighten your core muscles and bring your arms and legs closer together, lifting your head slightly off the bed.
- Aim for a 45¡ã angle with your arms and legs, but don't push too hard.
- Slowly lower your head, arms, and legs back down, and repeat for 30 reps.
2) Oblique Twists
According to a study by Cleveland Clinic, oblique twists focus on the two main muscles on the sides of your abdomen, aiding in fat burning. Performing oblique twists while on a bed could contribute to burning belly fat.
