If you are willing to put forth the effort and exercise at an increased intensity, the process of losing your excess stomach fat can be rapidly increased. Exercises that are high-intensity can be completed in less time than low-intensity exercises and usually provide better results in a shorter period of time.
Abdominal Hallowing
Position yourself on your hands and knees on the floor or exercise mat. Relax your stomach and take a deep breath in. As you breathe out, slowly bring your bellybutton in and up, as if trying to draw it into your spine. Hold the position for 10 seconds and take a 10 second rest period. Perform a total of 10 repetitions. As you are performing the exercise, you should be able to breathe normally and the position of your spine should not change.
Single Leg Balance and Reach
Stand with your hands on your hips. Place your feet about hip-width apart. Engage your abs and bend your knees slightly. Lift your right foot to the front of your body, bringing it about 12 inches off of the floor. Rotate your right leg out to your right side, while keeping your left leg completely still. Simultaneously move your right leg behind you in a diagonal motion as you twist your torso to the right. Sweep your right leg back in front of your body and return to the start position. Perform 10 reps with each leg.
Crunch Beat
Lie down on an exercise mat with your face looking towards the ceiling. Bend your knees to a 90-degree angle and lift your legs off the mat, making your calves parallel with the floor. Grasp your hand behind your head, making sure your elbows are facing outward. Lift your shoulders up off the mat and crunch up with your abdominal muscles. While in the crunch position, diagonally extend your legs into the air and cross your ankles while extending your arms over your head. Hold this position while crossing your feet over and under one another eight times. Return to the start position and do 18 repetitions.
V-Sit Pull-Back
Relax your neck and sit on the floor. Bring your legs together, bend your knees and hold your arms in front of you at shoulder level. Lean back slightly while engaging your abdominal muscles. Roll your torso to your right as you reach back and tap the floor with your right elbow. Bring your arm back in front of you and into the starting position. Perform 20 repetitions, changing sides with each rep.
