Lose Belly Fat Sitting Down | AB Workout For Women Over 50

HOW DO WE LOSE BELLY FAT?

Losing belly fat doesn’t have to be laborious and trying. It’s all about keeping it fun and interesting with a varied workout and diet plan.

This belly fat workout can be completed while sitting down, which may seem like a new concept. It may even sound counterproductive. But a seated workout that is high intensity can help us burn belly fat and target out abs more effectively.

Seated workouts are a great alternative if you have restricted movement and offer many of the same benefits as a standing workout.

All you’ll need for this workout is a comfortable chair and flat, unobstructed floor area to complete the workout on.

Ok, I’m excited. If you’re ready to get moving, let’s get started.
