The 7-Day Belly Fat Challenge For Beginner: Day 1/7

Transform Your Waistline with These Detailed Exercises

Welcome to Day 1 of the 7-Day Belly Fat Challenge! Today, we’re focusing on strengthening your core with a series of plank variations. Let’s get started:

Exercise Routine:

Standard Plank:

Get into a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders.
Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
Hold this position for 30 seconds, focusing on engaging your core muscles. Avoid sagging or lifting your hips too high.

2. Side Plank:

Lie on your side with your elbow directly beneath your shoulder and legs stacked on top of each other.
Lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from head to feet.
Hold this position for 15 seconds on each side. Feel the burn in your obliques (side abdominal muscles).

3. Plank with Leg Lift:

Start in a standard plank position.
Lift one leg off the ground, keeping it straight and engaging your glutes.
Alternate lifting each leg for a total of 15 reps (lifting each leg counts as one rep)

Tips for Success:

Maintain Proper Form: Throughout each exercise, focus on keeping your core muscles tight and your body in a straight line.
Breathe: Remember to breathe steadily throughout each plank. Avoid holding your breath.
Modify as Needed: If the exercises feel too challenging, you can modify by dropping to your knees for planks or reducing the duration of each hold.

Why Planks?

Planks are an excellent exercise for toning and strengthening your entire core, including the deep abdominal muscles. By including different variations like side planks and leg lifts, we’re targeting multiple muscle groups for maximum effectiveness.
