Most of us can agree that if we want to create lean, healthy muscle tissue in our stomachs, it is not the most pleasant experience on the road. The abs are a problem area for many people, and you may have to shed fat before your stomach muscles become visible. That being said, not all abs are created equal. Some people need to work their abs to exhaustion (or death for some) before they can even flatten out their bellies, while other people seem to get their abs to shine atop the Everest Mountain without sweating a couple grains of salty body liquid. But regardless of where you stand on the fitness spectrum, the following exercises below will definitely help to get your abs to show in a short period of time. These workouts target all three planes of your core – frontal, lateral and transverse; and with the circuit style routine, these workouts intensity will remain high and you’ll burn tons of fat – everywhere! Instructions:

• Perform each exercise for 30 seconds, one after the other with 10 seconds of rest between moves.
• Start with 2 circuits and work yourself up to 5 circuits.
• For maximum results, perform this workout 3 times a week on non-consecutive days.

Note: These exercises make use of a barbell (with weights) and a medicine ball with the exception of the last two at the bottom.

1. BARBELL ROLL-UP

• Load the bar with 10-pound plates and kneel on the floor behind it. Your shoulders should be over the bar.
• Brace your abs and roll the bar forward, reaching in front of you until you feel your hips are about to sag.
• Roll yourself back.

2. SWISS BALL CRUNCH

• Lie back on the ball with feet shoulder-width apart on the floor. Your lower back should be supported by the ball.
• Place your hands behind your ears and tuck your chin.
• Curl your body up off the ball until you’re sitting up.

3. FLUTTER KICK

• Lie on your back with legs straight and extend your arms by your sides.
• Lift your heels about 6 inches and rapidly kick your feet up and down in a quick, scissor-like motion.

4. FRONT SQUAT

• Set a barbell on a power rack at about shoulder height (if you don’t have a rack, clean it to your shoulders).
• Grasp the bar with hands at shoulder width and raise your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
• Take the bar out of the rack and let it rest on your fingertips—as long as your elbows stay up, you’ll be able to balance the bar.
• Step back and set your feet at shoulder width with toes turned out slightly. This is important – squat as low as you can without losing the arch in your lower back.

5. LEG RAISE

• Lie on the floor and hold onto a bench or the legs of a heavy chair for support.
• Keep your legs straight and raise them up until they’re vertical.
• Lower back down, but stop just short of the floor to keep tension on your abs before the next rep.

6. MEDICINE BALL RUSSIAN TWIST

• Sit on the floor in the top position of a situp and, holding a medicine ball with both hands, extend your arms in front of you.
• Explosively twist your body to one side and then twist back. Alternate sides.

7. MEDICINE BALL MOUNTAIN CLIMBER

• Hold the ball with both hands and get into pushup position on the floor.
• Drive one knee up to your chest and then quickly drive it back while you raise the opposite knee.

8. ELBOW PLANK

• Get into pushup position and bend your elbows to lower your forearms to the floor.
• Hold the position with abs braced.

9. SIDE PLANK

• Lie on your left side resting your left forearm on the floor for support.
• Raise your hips up so that your body forms a straight line and brace your abs—your weight should be on your left forearm and the edge of your left foot.
• Hold the position with abs braced.

We've all asked these questions before: What's the best way to burn fat the fastest? Which exercises are the most efficient? Which ones burn the most calories? How many calories would I burn if I just do jumping jacks? Well you walked into the right place because I'm going to fill you up with the answers that hopefully solves your concerns! The names of each workout will be in headings followed by directions of how to perform the exercise and finally the how-to videos to conclude with each.

SQUATS

Squats are performed by using your own bodyweight or with additional weight. They target virtually all muscles in your legs while burning calories and contributes very well for weight loss. If you've been to the gym a couple of times then I'm pretty sure you've probably heard of squats before. And if you were serious with getting fit at least once then you most definately have tried this exercise! Squats boost power for both jumping and sprinting which makes it one of my top priorities in the workouts list. And did you know that squats burn a ridiculous amount of calories compared to many others?

How do I calculate the calories burned from squats?

1. Multiply your weight by .096
2. Take the answer and multiply it by the amount of minutes you perform the exercise.

For instance, if you weigh 160 lbs. and you take 15 minutes to complete your squats, you will burn approximately 230 calories. If you received a different answer on the calculator following Christy's method, remember that the amount of calories you burn is formulated depending on the intensity of the exercise and your weight. For example, a 120-pound person doing squats for 15 minutes can burn 95 calories, and performing for an hour can burn 382 calories. Here is a quick list I have put together showing more varieties of weight:

Pounds	Minutes	Calories Burned
80	15	64
100	15	80
120	15	95
140	15	111
160	15	127
180	15	144
200	15	159
240	15	191
280	15	223
320	15	255
400	15	319

Directions (Barbell)

1. Plant your feet flat on the ground, toes slightly outward.
2. Position the bar behind your head, with the weight on your upper back.
   • Raise and dismount the barbell from the rack. Then take a step forward or backward, or the rack would interfere in the motion.
3. Bend your knees and slowly lower your hips as if to "sit" on an invisible chair.
4. Contract your abs as you move through the squat.
5. Push straight back up, lifting your hips up and forward to lift toward starting position.

PLANK

Planks are one of those exercises that are a complete must for strengthening your core, as they take part in engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously. But thats not all: They also tighten your stomach, improve flexibility, balance and posture, mood (Yes!), and lessen back pain. If you're like me you've purposely left planks away from your exercise routines in the past. Why? Because they were overwhelming! I'm the type of person who may become paranoid if I don't see results, so after weeks of exercise and plenty of fitness articles I realized one day that I just had to start doing planks again---after learning the benefits coming from them. When I started out it felt impossible to hold a plank longer than 40 seconds. However, after plenty of weeks passed I learned that it gets easier to hold longer over time. The longer you hold a plank the more calories are being burned, as your body begins to struggle supporting your weight and firing all of its calorie-burning engines.

Directions

1. Get into pushup position on the floor.
2. Your elbows should be directly beneath your shoulders, and your body should form a straight line from your head to your feet.
3. Place your wrists in line with your elbows.
4. Push your body up into your upper back and hold your chin close to your neck (like you’re holding an egg between your chin and your throat).
5. In this position, brace your abdominals—contract them like expecting a punch in your stomach, squeeze your gluteal (tailbone) and thigh muscles simultaneously while continuing to breathe normally.
6. Hold the position for as long as you can. Rest for approximately one minute and repeat three to five more times.

BURPEES

Burpees are one of the fastest calorie burners out there. But let me warn you: they're not easy! To someone who is barely venturing into their fitness adventures, burpees may look a little strange. But they are really tough and can get your heart pounding very quickly. After a few burpees you will start sweating at a quick rate.

Directions

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, weight in your heels, and your arms at your sides.
2. Push your hips back, bend your knees, and lower your body into a squat.
3. Place your hands on the floor directly in front of, and just inside, your feet. Shift your weight onto them.
4. Jump your feet back to softly land on the balls of your feet in a plank position. Your body should form a straight line from your head to heels. Be careful not to let your back sag or you butt stick up in the air, as both can keep you from effectively working your core.
5. Jump your feet back so that they land just outside of your hands.
6. Reach your arms over head and explosively jump up into the air.
7. Land and immediately lower back into a squat for your next rep.

JUMPING JACKS

Commonly introduced early stages into childhood, jumping jacks can slice calories quicker than you arrive at your gym! According to Calorie Lab, doing jumping jacks for 15 minutes for someone who weighs exactly 100 pounds can burn 80 calories! But like every exercise listed, don't expect to be doing jumping jacks long enough to be burning the calories you wish for all at once! I recommend combining all of these exercises with others for a balanced circuit workout. Not only will the calorie burning continue long after your workout ends but you'll also acquire all of the benefits without hurting yourself. Jumping jacks engage all of your muscles at the same time: upper body, abs, legs, and of course your whole cardiovascular system. They are the perfect warm-up activity, as they help you loosen up at the beginning of a workout!

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

Mountain climbers are one of the most effective exercises I know. It's a full body workout! When performing mountain climbers your heart rate goes up really fast. This exercise fires up nearly every muscle group in the body: deltoids, chest, obliques, biceps, hamstrings, abdominals, quads, triceps, and even the hip abductors! According to Tanya Siejhi Gershon, mountain climbers are peat the action with your other knee.

I understand that its not easy to get rid of. If you are reading this post then you are showing an enough motive to be able to make a change. That being sad, you are the only person who can murder that belly fat away from you. It is only you that will be able to save you from the evil forces of belly fat evil. So now, allow me to present to you the six best ways to lose belly fat so that you can be on the right path to a better body! Let those jaws drop!

HERE ARE 5 EVIDENCE-BASED WAYS TO LOSE BELLY FAT:

1. AVOID SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGES OR SUGAR IN ANYTHING, IF POSSIBLE

Added sugar is extremely unhealthy. But it makes food taste delightful most of the time! While some of us may choose to not monitor their sugar intake regularly, it is very important to know that sugar can lead to lots of health problems. Sugar was found to be linked to belly fat increase. You can find sugar everywhere such as processed foods, so it is understandably common that people are constantly searching for fatest ways to lose weight. Everywhere modern processed foods go, chronic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease soon follow. The studies are clear on this... when people abandon their traditional foods in favor of modern processed foods high in sugar, refined flour and vegetable oils, they get sick. Studies show that it has uniquely harmful effects on metabolic health. And guess what I found out? That people are eating more processed foods than ever before! Here is a graph below that represents how consumption of processed foods have increased in the past few decades: (Keep in mind that even though it looks like people are still eating most of their foods "at home" - this does not take into account the fact that most people are also eating processed foods at home) Sugar is half glucose, half fructose… and fructose can only be metabolized by the liver in any significant amount. When you eat a lot of refined sugar, the liver accumulates fructose which is then forced to turn it all into fat. A number of studies have shown that excess sugar, mostly due to the large amounts of fructose, can lead to increased accumulation of fat in the belly. How about switching out some of the sugary foods and start implementing some fat burn green tea in your diet? You may look into fat burning supplements. Some believe that this is the primary mechanism behind sugar’s harmful effects on health… it increases belly fat and liver fat, which leads to insulin resistance and a host of metabolic problems. Liquid sugar is even worse... Liquid calories don’t even get "processed" by the brain in the same way as solid calories, so when you drink sugar-sweetened beverages, you end up eating more total calories. Studies show that sugar-sweetened beverages are linked to a 60% increased risk of obesity in children… per each daily serving. (I heard a liquid diet meal planner can work out well) A study conducted by Johnson RJ has found that total sugar intake has skyrocketed in the past 160 years, as seen in the graph below: Make a decision to minimize the amount of sugar in your diet, and considercompletely eliminating sugary drinks so that you don't suffer from weight gain as well. This includes sugar-sweetened beverages, fruit juices, various sports drinks, as well as coffees and teas with sugar added to them. Keep in mind that none of this applies to whole fruit, which are extremely healthy and have plenty of fiber that mitigates the negative effects of fructose. The amount of fructose you get from fruit is negligible compared to what you get from a diet high in refined sugar. And if you want to cut back on refined sugar, then you must start reading labels. Even foods marketed as health foods can contain huge amounts of sugar. The bottom line is this: excess sugar consumption may be the primary influence and growth of belly fat accumulation, especially sugary beverages like soft drinks and fruit juices.

2. IF YOU AREN'T EATING ENOUGH PROTEIN, THEN ITS TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT CHANGING THAT

Protein is the most important macronutrient when it comes to losing weight. It has been shown to reduce cravings by 60%, boost metabolism by 80-100 calories per day and help you eat up to 441 fewer calories per day. If weight loss is your goal, then adding protein to your diet is perhaps the single most effective change you can do. Maybe you can combine a keto diet or an atkinds diet ;) Not only will it help you lose… it can also help you avoid re-gaining weight if you ever decide to abandon your weight loss efforts. There is also some evidence that protein is particularly effective against belly fat (YES) One study showed that the amount and quality of protein consumed was inversely related to fat in the belly. That is, people who ate more and better protein had much less belly fat (19). Another study in Denmark showed that protein, especially animal protein, was linked to significantly reduced risk of belly fat gain over a period of 5 years. This study also showed that refined carbs and vegetable oils were linked to increased amounts of belly fat, but fruits and vegetables linked to reduced amounts. Many of the studies showing protein to be effective had protein at 25-30% of calories. That’s what you should aim for. Integrate some fat burning foods to go along with this approach like the golden milk for an extra added healthy diet for losing belly fat quicker :) So… make an effort to increase your intake of unprocessed eggs, fish, seafood,meats, poultry and dairy products. These are the best protein sources in the diet. If you struggle with getting enough protein in your diet, then a quality protein supplement (like whey protein) is a healthy and convenient way to boost your total intake. Here's a good tip: consider cooking your foods in coconut oil… some studies have shown that 30 mL (about 2 tablespoons) of coconut oil per day reduces belly fat slightly. (Wow!) Recommendation: eating enough protein is a very effective way to lose weight. Some studies suggest that protein is particularly effective against belly fat accumulation.

3. REDUCE THE CARBS FROM YOUR DIET

Carb restriction is a very effective way to lose fat. This is supported by numerous studies… when people cut carbs, their appetite goes down and they lose weight. Over 20 randomized controlled trials have now shown that low-carb diets lead to 2-3 times more weight loss than low-fat diets. This is true even when the low-carb groups are allowed to eat as much as they want, while the low-fat groups are calorie restricted and hungry. Low-carb diets also lead to quick reductions in water weight, which gives people near instant results… a major difference on the scale is often seen within a few days. There are also studies comparing low-carb and low-fat diets, showing that low-carb diets specifically target the fat in the belly, and around the organs and liver. What this means is that a particularly high proportion of the fat lost on a low-carb dietis the dangerous and disease promoting abdominal fat. Just avoiding the refined carbs (white breads, pastas, etc) should be sufficient, especially if you keep your protein high. However… if you need to lose weight fast, then consider dropping your carbs down to 50 grams per day. This will put your body into ketosis, killing your appetite and making your body start burning primarily fats for fuel. Of course, low-carb diets have many other health benefits besides just weight loss. They can have life-saving effects in type 2 diabetics, for example. What you should take from this: studies have shown that low-carb diets are particularly effective at getting rid of the fat in the belly area, around the organs and in the liver.

4. INTEGRATE MORE FIBER INTO YOUR DAILY MEALS.

Dietary fiber is mostly indigestible plant matter. It is often claimed that eating plenty of fiber can help with weight loss. This is true… but it’s important to keep in mind that not all fiber is created equal. It seems to be mostly the viscous fibers that can have an effect on your weight. These are fibers that bind water and form a thick gel that “sits” in the gut. This gel can dramatically slow the movement of food through your stomach and small bowel, and slow down the digestion and absorption of nutrients. The end result is a prolonged feeling of fullness and reduced appetite. One review study found that an additional 14 grams of fiber per day were linked to a 10% decrease in calorie intake and weight loss of 2 kg (4.5 lbs) over 4 months. In one 5-year study, eating 10 grams of soluble fiber per day was linked to a 3.7% reduction in the amount of fat in the abdominal cavity, but it had no effect on the amount of fat under the skin. What this implies, is that soluble fiber may be particularly effective at reducing the harmful belly fat. The best way to get more fiber is to eat a lot of plant foods like vegetables and fruit. Legumes are also a good source, as well as some cereals like oats. Then you could also try taking a fiber supplement like glucomannan. This is one of the most viscous dietary fibers in existence, and has been shown to cause weight loss in many studies. Note: there is some evidence that soluble dietary fiber may lead to reduced amounts of belly fat, which should cause major improvements in metabolic health.

5. DON'T FORGET ABOUT YOUR CARDIO

Exercise is important for various reasons. It is among the best things you can do if you want to live a long, healthy life and avoid disease. Getting into all of the amazing health benefits of exercise is beyond the scope of this article, but exercise does appears to be effective at reducing belly fat. However… keep in mind that I’m not talking about abdominal exercises here. Spot reduction (losing fat in one spot) is not possible, and doing endless amounts of crunches will not make you lose fat from the belly. In one study, 6 weeks of training just the abdominal muscles had no measurable effect on waist circumference or the amount of fat in the abdominal cavity. That being said, other types of exercise can be very effective. Aerobic exercise (like walking, running, swimming, etc) has been shown to cause major reductions in belly fat in numerous studies. Another study found that exercise completely prevented people from re-gaining abdominal fat after weight loss, implying that exercise is particularly important during weight maintenance. Exercise also leads to reduced inflammation, blood sugar levels and all the other metabolic abnormalities that are associated with central obesity. Exercise can be very effective if you are trying to lose belly fat. Exercise also has a number of other health benefits. If you don't have a gym membership, try looking into LA fitness, Planet Fitness, or UFC. Along with your exercises you should keep in mind other factors to watch your fat burning as well as maintaining healthy meals, healthy chicken recipes, healthy snacks and healthy smoothies.
