Complex for a flat stomach contains 10 effective exercises at a basic level, which even the unprepared can do. Gay Gasper called it that - the “Abdominal Press for Dummies” complex.

For each exercise, we also offer a more complicated modification for an advanced level or, conversely, a lighter version if at the first stage it is difficult to cope even with the basic level.

You don't need any special equipment or equipment, just a mat. Therefore, the Gay Gasper flat belly complex is ideal for practicing at home.

Gay Gasper recommends combining abdominal exercises with aerobics and a balanced diet, because Abdominal exercises alone are not enough for a flat stomach.

Important

If you have read to the end, it means you are already working or want to start working on the problem of your stomach and waist, so let’s repeat it again: It is important to follow a diet and combine pumping the press with aerobic exercise, this could be aerobics, dancing, jumping or just walking at a brisk pace. Then your work will not be in vain, fat will disappear from the abdomen, the waist will become thin, and the stomach will be toned and flat.

Important! Perform crunches correctly and safely

Twisting. Do it correctly and safely!

There's a lot of Gay Gasper in training twisting exercises, so let’s pay a little attention to this most effective exercise for the abs. It is very important to do them CORRECTLY and SAFELY!

Why crunches are so effective for your abs

Crunching exercises are a universal exercise. to form a beautiful, flat stomach. Crunches are the only exercise that fully works all the abdominal muscles.

Twisting. What muscles work

Abdominal Press formed by the rectus and oblique abdominal muscles. When performing twisting exercises, the entire abs receive both static and dynamic load at once, because you have to simultaneously hold the body in a fixed position and perform twisting, during which the muscles either contract or stretch.

Moreover, crunches can effectively tone the entire rectus abdominis muscle, although its structure is very heterogeneous: powerful and thick at the top, and weak and thin at the bottom.

In addition, the lower back muscles are involved. They, as antagonist muscles, counteract the abdominal muscles.

Twisting. Basic technique

The task of the rectus and oblique abdominal muscles is to bend the body, i.e. bring the ribs closer to the pelvic bones. Please note that it is the ribs that need to be brought closer, not the shoulders and chest, and specifically to the pelvic bones, not to the knees. Otherwise, it will not be the abs that will work, but other muscles.

How to do crunches correctly

Lie on your back, bend your knees, place your heels as close to your buttocks as possible. Place your hands behind your head or fold them across your chest.

As you exhale, begin to twist your body, first lower your chin to your chest, then lift your shoulders off the floor, then your shoulder blades. Raise your spine smoothly, vertebra by vertebra, immediately twisting it forward, as if you want to curl up into a ball. Move smoothly, slowly, without jerking, without using your legs.

While inhaling, at the same pace as you twisted, also smoothly, vertebra by vertebra, turn your body: first place your shoulder blades on the floor, then your shoulders, then your head.

If the exercise is performed correctly, you will not be able to sit down, this feature will show that it is the abdominal muscles that work, and not some others.

Twisting. Basic mistakes

1. Fix legs, lying on a horizontal surface, clinging, for example, to a sofa or with the help of a partner. This position immediately transfers the load to other muscles. With the legs fixed, the abdominal muscles work only in a lying position on an inclined bench or a special exercise machine.
2. Do not coordinate movements with breathing. Remember, lifting the body always occurs while exhaling, and returning to the starting position while inhaling.
3. Lift your lower back off the floor. Lack of support under the lower back during twisting can lead to prolapse of intervertebral discs. Therefore, at the very beginning of the twist, try to press your lower back into the floor. If you can’t avoid arching your back, do exercises on a fitball or place a towel folded several times under your lower back.
4. Perform the exercise in jerks. Do not help yourself while performing the exercise by swinging your arms and legs. If you cannot lift your shoulders or shoulder blades off the floor, just try to feel the tension in the muscles from your ribs to your lower abdomen. It is important to tense the necessary muscles, and not to do the exercise at maximum amplitude.

Additional Help - Japanese Exercise for Belly Fat

And if you trust physical exercises, then here is another effective exercise for getting rid of fat on the sides and belly from the inventive Japanese.

Additional motivation– by removing fat from your belly and waist, you will reduce the likelihood of developing diabetes, heart disease, chronic diseases, increase your self-esteem and feel much lighter and more confident. Flat, beautiful tummies to you!

Those who follow the motto “You only live once!” ignore their daily routine and diet, the principles of a healthy lifestyle, and sooner or later they think about how to get rid of their belly and sides. Losing weight in front and on the sides of the belly eliminates the need to periodically torture yourself with diets and exercises.

Reasons to remove the belly and sides

Some men, having gained fat in the lower torso and waist, are convinced that the abdomen is necessary “for respectability.” They come to their senses when their belly and sides sag so much that it is awkward to appear on the beach.

Ignoring regular exercises to lose weight in the abdomen and sides, diets develop clumsiness, reduce attractiveness in the opposite sex, and sometimes cause laughter.

The canons of female beauty require a slender figure, a flat stomach, smooth and velvety skin. A minimal layer of fat and trained abdominals highlight a wasp waist, allowing you to wear open dresses that emphasize the dignity of your figure.

Compared to men, women tend to be overweight and pay more attention to losing weight. Fat folds on the abdomen and waist cause anxiety and worry. To quickly remove them, women restore the elegance and grace of their figure with exercises and diets.

Daily movement of the protruding abdomen and lateral folds of fat quickly tires the muscles, spine, leg joints, wears out the heart, forcing it to pump more blood. As a result, excess fat prevents you from achieving intellectual achievements.

It is also worth removing the stomach and sides because the accumulation of fat inside disrupts the blood supply and puts pressure on the internal organs. Their proliferation forms tumors. Stagnation causes swelling. The accumulation of moisture increases body weight.

Clumsiness, difficulty moving, and decreased attractiveness in the opposite sex signal decrepitude and aging. Reinforced by the inner conviction that everything is so, they launch appropriate programs that make them look and feel older.

Therefore, you need to quickly get rid of fat on your stomach and sides - like ballast attached to the basket of a balloon.

How to get rid of belly and sides

Cortisol. Women are more emotional than men. Sweets relax them and eliminate worries. Easily digestible form folds of fat.

Men relax with beer, vodka, and wine. Alcohol dulls sensations, including taste, excites, forces you to eat more, which also creates a belly.

The hormone cortisol is involved in the development of the stress response; one of its tasks is to preserve the body’s energy resources and prevent fat burning.

Nervous tension at work or at home is necessary for a feeling of fullness of life, contrasting with positive emotions and pleasant experiences.

But if you often worry, get nervous about or without reason, cortisol prevents you from removing fat from your stomach and sides.

Diets. It would seem that a quick way to remove fat accumulations on the stomach and waist is to eat less. But soon the body switches to an economical mode of operation.

Changes in the usual lifestyle, lack of strength, feelings of satiety in an incompletely filled, distended stomach cause irritability and the release of corisol, which prevents weight loss.

Exercises. Supporters of an active lifestyle, who enjoy overcoming obstacles, eliminate the fat hanging down the bottom of the body by scrupulously counting calories consumed and spent, exercising in a fitness center, and living an active lifestyle. They often require time and financial expenses.

How to properly remove the belly and sides?

The listed methods to lose weight give short-term results or lead to self-deception:

• on the one hand, attempts have been made to remove fat deposits - there is nothing to reproach yourself with;
• on the other hand, there is no progress or it is insignificant, not worth the effort and time spent.

The main disadvantage of diets and exercises for quick weight loss is their focus on eliminating one cause.

A set of measures to remove the belly and sides, burn folds of fat:

1. Maintain motivation to remove belly and sides:

• Maintain the desire to lose weight.
• Find the strength to overcome temporary setbacks.
• Ignore the teasing of friends and family.
• Eliminate stomach distension, normalize appetite.

2. Normalize your diet:

3. Perform exercises to lose weight on the abdomen and sides

Maintaining Motivation

How to maintain your desire to lose weight. Striving to quickly get rid of belly and side fat should be one of your main goals over the coming months.

The constant mood is supported by “candy” (“gingerbread”). Reasons to get rid of the belly and sides may be as follows:

1. Attract the attention of the opposite sex.
2. Become agile and muscular like an idol.
3. Stop standing out with your huge belly.
4. Prove to yourself and others your will and determination.
5. Because I wanted it that way.

Some men and women are helped by the “dream slide” - a photograph with a slim figure after getting rid of fat folds in the lower abdomen and along its edges, with abs pumped up by exercise.

Some people are confused by the contradiction:

• On the one hand, negative experiences due to an unattractive figure cause the release of cortisol, which interferes with burning fat in the lower torso.
• On the other hand, to cope with the black streak, energy is needed. But if you are overweight, the body already spends a lot of energy moving, gets tired faster, internal organs are compressed by fat, and suffer from lack of blood circulation.

The strength to overcome temporary setbacks provides a careful selection of information.

Watching the Internet and TV channels tires you and forces you to absorb information that is more negative than positive. Negative experiences cause resentment and the release of cortisol.

Organizing the sites you visit, online communications, and a more careful selection of TV shows and films add more effort and time. The world view becomes more optimistic.

Ignore the teasing of friends and family. Relatives and friends often interfere with quickly removing fat from the stomach and sides. They make fun of you or are sincerely offended if you refuse to “sit down” after work.

The desire to achieve a slim, fit figure is a definite challenge to others. The intention to get rid of something that not everyone can do. A clear demonstration that you can look much more attractive, become muscular and lean.

All that remains is to be disingenuous - to complain about your state of health, the doctor’s prohibitions. Ignore calls - “look at what you have reduced yourself to, skin and bones!”

Stop relieving stress with alcohol reception helps:

• do not refuse to drink, but every time convince yourself to put off drinking until “later.”

Diet for the stomach and sides

Translated from Greek, diet means “way of life” or “eating regimen.” Before losing weight, undergo a medical examination, make sure your stomach and intestines are healthy, and listen to your doctor’s recommendations.

Reduce your sugar and salt intake. Sugar relaxes you but gives you extra energy. If it is not immediately spent on exercise, the body turns it into fat deposits.

Giving up the habit of adding salt to food helps you quickly remove fat from your stomach and sides—modern foods have plenty of it. Excess retains fluid and increases swelling.

Eliminate stomach distension. Due to busyness, some people only have time to eat 1-2 times a day. The habit of rarely, but completely filling your belly teaches the brain to believe that a full stomach and a feeling of fullness are one and the same.

In order to “get enough” – and, in fact, to overeat – the stomach has to be filled even more, it stretches.

To get rid of fat on your stomach and sides, make it a rule to get up from the table with a feeling of slight hunger, even if your brain and eyes require continuation.

A contradiction prevents the elimination of stomach distension:

• To quickly restore stomach volume, you need to stop filling it completely.
• But a half-empty stomach does not give satiety; negative experiences produce cortisol.

Some fast for three days, others have a “fasting day” once a week. Nutritionists advise eating little but often.

Normalize eating habits. Drinking moisture after eating dilutes gastric juice and impairs food digestion.

Vitamins, microelements. A common cause of body fat is a lack of substances for energy production in the body. Their deficiency disrupts metabolic processes.

If food remains are not removed from the intestines, they rot and ferment. The body stores harmful substances in fat and forms folds on the stomach and sides. The body loses vitamins and microelements with sweat, through the organs of the excretory system.

Energy production is accelerated by vitamins:

• B5 (pantothenic acid) – metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids.
• B6 (pyridoxine) – absorption of fatty acids, normalization of metabolism, diuretic effect.
• E (tocopherol) – neutralizes harmful substances after the oxidation of fats, which suppress other vitamins and enzymes.

The following microelements are especially useful for the body:

• – improves intellectual activity, participates in the production of growth hormone, which accelerates metabolic processes, burns fat. Contains: kelp, sea fish, feijoa, persimmon, bell pepper.
• – is part of cell membranes, accelerates healing processes. Maintains optimal insulin levels. Contains: wheat germ, strawberries, beef, pumpkin seeds, nuts.
• – important for the organs of the endocrine system, for heart rhythm, normalization of blood pressure. Increases performance, stimulates thinking and metabolic processes. Contains: dried apricots, pumpkin seeds, dairy products, potatoes, prunes,.

Fat utilization is impaired by a lack of lecithin, a complex of phospholipids. Lecithin is involved in lipid metabolism and normalizes levels.

Impaired liver function reduces the synthesis of enzymes for energy production and interferes with the removal of the stomach and sides.

Products that contain unsaturated acids:

• increase metabolic rate, a common cause of fat deposits;
• dissolve cholesterol deposits, prevent atherosclerosis;
• normalize blood pressure;
• improve the elasticity and strength of blood vessels, reduce their permeability;
• normalize the functioning of the endocrine glands;
• eliminate foci of inflammation;
• normalize cholesterol metabolism.

Types of Omega-3 and Omega-6:

• ALA, they contain green soybeans, vegetable oils;
• EPA and DHA, there are a lot of them in fatty fish: tuna, salmon, anchovies.

An incomplete tablespoon of flaxseeds contains the daily requirement of Omega-3. Flaxseed oil has a higher concentration. Omega deficiency is eliminated by capsules.

Menu for the belly and sides

Carbohydrates.

Monosaccharides (apples, sugar, grapes, honey) quickly replenish energy, but also “burn out” quickly.

Polysaccharides (cereals, potatoes, beans, peas) increase blood glucose levels more slowly, and the flow of energy is longer and more constant. Their share in carbohydrates received during the day should be at least 60%.

The body synthesizes amino acids for synthesis. Essential ones must come from food. Animal protein contains a full set of amino acids, while plant protein contains fewer of them and some are missing.

Some are convinced that to lose weight you should completely give up fat. In fact, they are part of any balanced diet. Their share should be 10-20% of the total calories.

Monounsaturated fats (almonds, peanuts) help make your stomach flat; the optimal share is approximately half of the total amount of fat.

The share of saturated (meat, eggs, butter) and polyunsaturated (omega-3 and omega-6) fats is a quarter of the total amount of fat.

Include chicken, seafood, fish, cereals, salads, zucchini, cabbage, green peas, citrus fruits, and other fruits and vegetables in the menu.

Low-fat dairy products, low-fat cheeses, legumes, occasionally eggs, vegetable and butter, lean natural ham or sausage are useful.

Avoid baked goods, pizza, cakes, fizzy drinks, and store-bought juices.

Approximate diet:

• 3/5 – vegetables and fruits.
• 1/5 – protein.
• 1/5 – fats.

Meat. Sausages and sausages increase cholesterol levels. Natural meat helps remove wrinkles on the stomach and sides. Cook at home once or twice a week. Chicken and fish are healthy.

Vegetables absorb fat well, so they are cooked separately from meat.

Eggs. The product is rich in protein, vitamins and microelements. The yolk contains a daily dose of cholesterol, so consume up to three yolks per week. You can eat more protein.

Cheese is rich in protein and contains milk fat, which makes it difficult to get rid of a drooping belly. It is useful to occasionally include varieties with a fat content of up to 30% in the diet.

Home exercises for the abdomen and sides

Exercises for weight loss, abdominal muscle training remove small folds of fat; they are useful to perform at home for girls, women, and men.

The abdominal muscles are involved in bending, turning, maintaining an upright position and posture.

• The rectus muscle forms characteristic squares (“cubes”) and runs from the pubis to the middle of the chest.
• The oblique muscles are located on the sides at the bottom of the body. If they are weak and flabby, a fat pad appears around the waist.

Some, in order to remove a protruding belly, perform exercises only to give relief to the “squares” of the anterior muscle. It becomes hard, but the belly remains. The development of the oblique muscles makes the stomach flat and toned.

The abdominal muscles are formed by so-called “slow” fibers. They are adapted to long-term work and can be trained frequently, for example:

• first day – development of the upper muscles;
• the second - lower;
• the third - oblique;
• fourth - rest.

It is difficult to achieve tangible results in a week. Achieving results requires several months of home training.

When performing exercises, the abs are tense. Exhale during exercise - through the mouth, inhale - through the nose during the return movement (relaxation).

Exercise for the upper abs:

• Lie on your back, straightened your arms on the floor along your torso, straight legs raised perpendicular to your torso. Tighten your abdominal muscles and lift your torso, lifting your shoulder blades off the floor. Return to starting position.

Exercises for the lower abs:

• The starting position is the same. Tighten your lower muscles, pull your legs vertically up, lifting your pelvis off the floor. Return to starting position.
• Lie on your back, bend your hips at a right angle, shins parallel to the floor. Lift your pelvis off the floor and pull your knees towards your chest, giving a load to the muscles of the lower abdominals.

Exercise for oblique muscles:

• Lie on your back, feet on the floor, knees bent, palms on the back of your head. Twist your torso to the right and, lifting it off the floor, try to touch your left elbow to your right knee. Perform for the left side.

Aerobic training burns calories and reduces body fat - running, cycling, training on an elliptical trainer.

Breathing exercises for training the diaphragm helps to lose weight in the stomach and sides. The movements are smooth, on an empty stomach and after bowel movements. First, practice every other day, then daily.

4. Slowly raising your head, inhale and stretch your stomach to its natural position.

Repeat the exercise several times. Then lie on your back and rest for 2-3 minutes.

These movements help to achieve a flat stomach and massage the internal organs. Diaphragm training normalizes and restores the regularity of the female cycle and bladder control.

Exercises for the abdomen and sides of the obese. If your belly is huge, your sides hang down, and jogging is a thing of the past or there is nowhere to do it, traditional exercises will do more harm than good to the obese. In addition, obese people suffer from shortness of breath and other diseases.

On the other hand, exercises to quickly burn belly fat and gain a slim waist are still necessary.

Static exercises do not require special training, developed coordination of movements, or devices; they are performed at home.

Sports activity and fat burning are created by maintaining a given time interval. As training increases, it increases.

Have you noticed extra folds on your sides and waist and can’t button your favorite jeans? It's time to get in shape: trim your belly and fight excess fat. How to quickly lose belly fat and in a short time become the owner of a seductive figure (or six-pack abs, if you are a man)? In this article, the editors of Find out.rf have collected the most effective abdominal exercises and nutrition tips, because without a proper diet you can forget about a flat stomach.

In stressful situations, the body increases the level of cortisol, a hormone that, at prolonged high levels, contributes to the accumulation of belly fat. Use proven means for calming: valerian extract, motherwort, glycine, afobazole, teach your loved ones how to do a relaxing massage.

Limit your consumption of alcoholic beverages

Alcohol also increases cortisol levels and contributes to the appearance of fat deposits around the waist. Additionally, it becomes difficult to control hunger while drinking alcohol.

Beer, which contains phytoestrogens, which also promote fat deposition, is especially dangerous. Have you observed the so-called “beer bellies”? If you decide to fight for a thin waist, it is better to completely exclude beer from your diet. The same goes for “club” cocktails like Pina Colada or Mojito – they have a lot of sugar. If drinking alcohol cannot be avoided, drink dry white wine.

Eliminate high-calorie foods from your diet

Alas, there is no other way to get rid of excess ballast. If you want to remove excess fat from your sides and stomach, you should go on a diet for a couple of weeks (we recommend a selection of the most effective diets for every taste).

Remember: to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. To get rid of 1 kilogram, you need to create a deficit of 7,000 calories in your body. It might be easier to give up a big dinner than to run around the park for three hours.

Less starch, more fiber

The diet should include as many green and red vegetables as possible, but make sure they do not contain starch. The fiber found in vegetables helps reduce weight. Its fibers fill the stomach, and a person is not tormented by the feeling of hunger. Also diversify your diet with wild or brown rice, poultry and fish.

Make a list of stop products

Eliminate any meat cooked over fire from your diet - steam it. Forget about fast food, chips and crackers, milkshakes, ice cream - instead, prepare dietary snacks: slices of carrots or green apples, fresh berries.

If you are thirsty, drink plain water: a half-liter bottle of green tea contains about 135 kcal, lemonade of the same volume contains more than 200 kcal. Coca-Cola itself will not lead to obesity, as the popular myth about soda goes, but for those who want to lose weight, it is better to give it up.

Not all fruits are created equal

Avoid fruits high in fructose, which quickly “saturates” the liver with glycogen and only whets the appetite more: pomegranate, cherries, grapes (seedless), banana, watermelon, pear, dried fruits: raisins, dried apricots, figs, mango.

Drink plenty of water

Drink at least 2 liters of water throughout the day. Water “accelerates” metabolism, removes waste and toxins. And with a poor metabolism and a slagged body, it is almost impossible to get rid of fat. If the excretory system is not functioning well, take diuretics. To remove belly fat, water exchange must be very active.

Unfortunately, all these actions will be useless without exercise. To quickly lose belly fat and tone your muscles, you need to do two simple exercises every day: twirling a hula hoop and pumping your abs.

Stars who have launched their figure

Hoop exercises

Start your workout with a hoop - this will warm up your abdominal muscles and prepare them for abdominal exercises. A daily 10-minute routine with a hoop will improve blood circulation and metabolism, normalize lymph flow in problem areas (and this is indispensable in the fight against sides and cellulite). Spinning a hoop for 10 minutes burns about 100 calories. Over time, the duration of the hoop exercise can be increased to 30 minutes.

It is advisable that the weight loss hoop be equipped with massage balls. They can make your first workouts painful, so it's best to wrap a fabric belt around your waist to begin with, otherwise you risk bruising. Beginners should pay attention to lightweight hoops weighing up to 1.5 kg.

If just spinning a hula hoop is too boring for you, we offer you a video with a dynamic set of exercises aimed at increasing your overall tone.

A set of exercises with a hoop for weight loss

After warming up with a hoop, move on to abdominal exercises.

Abdominal exercises. Basics

Important! If you pump up your abs without following a strict diet, you will achieve the opposite effect: your abdominal muscles will increase and will only visually enlarge your belly. Abdominal exercises in and of themselves are not fat burning.

When doing crunches, you should not raise your body too high; it is enough to rise 45 degrees from the floor. You should not press your chin to your neck, nor should you strain your neck: lifting should be done using the abdominal muscles.

Watch your breathing: lifting the body should be done while EXHALEING.

Technique for performing abdominal exercises. Coach tips

It is important to perform the exercises at least until the so-called “burning” feeling: it is from this moment that the abs begin to pump up. Each such approach is worth its weight in gold.

After abdominal exercises, twist the hoop again for about 10 minutes to consolidate the result.
