Five interesting and effective ab exercise techniques to reduce belly fat
While working out, most people focus on their abdomen. It can be due to inspiration from Henry Cavill’s stint as Superman or Chris Hemsworth as Thor, or it can be because you are tired to go up one size every summer while buying swimsuits. Either way, it is the ultimate body goal that counts.
The goal is common in such a case – washboard abs that you can flaunt in a bikini or swim trunks. The challenge of ab workouts is the monotony of the process. Most people restrict themselves to regular ab-crunches to burn out their belly fat. We are not saying it’s ineffective; we are saying it’s boring. So here are five variations that can help you burn abdominal fat and gain lean muscle.
Weighted crunches
This one is quite simple. Use a weight plate while working on your abs. Perform this exercise holding the plat to your chest or above your head while rising into crunch mode. This will have a more intense effect on your core.
Decline crunch.
You may have already heard of this one, but unless you have tried it, you have no idea how efficient it is. Lying down on a declining slope creates more resistance and allows more pressure on your core. Just be sure not to touch your shoulder all the way on the slop each time, and you will be good to go.
Swiss ball crunch
This is simple too. Balance yourself in a relaxed crunch position on a Swiss ball. This will contract your ab muscles from all angles since you will have to balance yourself and at the same time pull your upper body up into a complete crunch position.
Cable crunch
You need to be at the gym for this one! Unless of course, you have a weighted cable machine at home. It will give you some deep ab work. Do this under strict supervision, or you might end up injuring your neck.
Oblique crunch
This is very important for your oblique muscles. Oblique crunches are the sworn enemy of love handles and lat-fat. Always switch sides after 10 or 12 reps.

The best way to get optimum results from all your crunches is to supplement your regular diet with prohormones. These are compounds that can stimulate the release of testosterone in your body. Testosterone can burn fat, create muscle and increase tenacity. While you can always rely on good ol’ workouts to give you a lean body, smart supplements like these help you complete your workout routine for a leaner and better body. Getting a flat and fat-less ab is so much easier when you have a simple fat burner like prohormones in your diet plan.
A great body adds confidence to the personality. A person who works out on a regular basis is also likely to have a happier life with an optimistic view of life. Workout keeps your body healthy and minds healthier. The process becomes even more rewarding when you can reach your goal.
