How to reduce your fat tummy - Three effective exercises



Before starting any types of exercises, prepare your self accordingly. Wear proper clothing and footwear for workout. Set up your workout program. The important point, maintain your workout program as you planned. 
Always remember you can’t focus on one particular body part. But there are few special exercises for abs. Easy but effective. Follow these simple exercises with other workouts.

Crunches
Lie on the floor (on your back) with your fingers on the sides of your head. Bend your leg and Place your feet on the floor. Lift your upper body, lifting shoulder blades off the floor and bend towards your stomach. Hold for two counts, and then lower slowly to the starting position (don’t hold your breath). Repeat the exercise.

Reverse Crunches
Lie on the same position but position the feet a few inches off the floor. Contract the abdominals; bring your knees towards your rib cage. Hold for two counts at the top and then slowly lower your knees to the starting position. Repeat.

Plank
Lie on the floor (on your chest and stomach). Begin the exercise by placing elbows on the floor; lift your body up a little and rest body on the knees. Pull the abs tight. Stay firm. Hold your body in a straight line from head to knees without sagging in the middle. Hold this position for sometime, relax and repeat the same.
