6. Sit-ups
Sit-ups are a great exercise for flattening your belly zone and training your abdominal muscles.
The starting position: Lie on your back and bend your knees. Your hands should be placed behind your ears, crossed at the chest, or put slightly over the back of your head, but not interlocked (to prevent you from lifting with the use of your neck).
The routine:
- Elevate your upper body off the ground using your ab muscles and try to approach your thighs. Don’t forget to keep your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
- Smoothly lower your upper body down and return to the starting position. Repeat.
- Your hands should stay in the chosen initial position throughout the whole routine.
As an option, you can use an exercise ball to diversify your routine and support yourself during sit-ups.
