5 Best No-Equipment Exercises for a Flat Belly and Strong Abs
You can do these every day — and they don’t include crunches.
Every person wants a flat tummy. But few realize the secret to cutting flab around your stomach is building core strength.
Focusing on your core strength enhances stamina and performance.
Core makes the central foundation of your body as it connects your upper and lower body. Strength training focused on core muscles improves posture, balance, stability, and agility to carry out daily physical activities.
People often confuse the core with just the abs, but it includes the diaphragm, abdominals, obliques, pelvis, lower back, glutes, and hips. Core exercises help women to strengthen their abdominal and back muscles. A recent study by Sandhiya et al., also concluded core exercises have relieving effects on dysmenorrhea in women.
A few other benefits of core strength exercises are:
- Maintains the strength of pelvic muscles,
- Relieves back pain,
- Reduces mental stress,
- Prevents chances of reduced bone density
- Improves balance and reduces the chances of injury.
