5 Best Abs Workout for Women at Home

The most hateful part of our body is the belly where fat gets accumulated easily. No matter what exercise we do, or how balanced diet we eat, it seems the belly fat does not want to leave us easily.

I often see women pointing at their bellies with depressed faces and asking ‘how to get rid of this?’ Some have also reported that the exercises they are doing to tone up their bellies are taking ages to give results.

But the biggest mistake people generally do to lose fat from the belly is to use those ‘ab belts’ that promise to cut extra fat from the belly within 7 days. Naturally, these belts will not work properly as they work from the outside and 50 percent of our body fat is located under the skin.

Therefore anyone who wants to tone up her belly fat needs to do the right set of exercise that will actually target her belly fats. Here I am giving you the details of 5 best belly-flattening exercises which will give you faster results if you stay consistent.

All you need to have is good workout pants, a good workout mat, and some great motivation!
