At Home Ab Workout For Women

Last updated on March 18th, 2019 at 06:36 am

Do this quick ab workout at home 2-3 times a week to burn belly fat, strengthen your core and improve posture!

This short ab routine is made out of 4 exercises and includes plyometric plank exercises and my most hated – side planks. I hate those little suckers, they’re tough. But they get results.

How To Burn Belly Fat

Whatever the reason you want to lose fat around your waist (e.g. to reduce insulin resistance, to prevent chronic disease, to improve your overall health or just to look really good) you need to add a cardio/HIIT component to your abs routine. This will make your body burn more calories and fat overall which will also result in reducing fat around your belly. The other part is of course starting to eat clean, because you really can’t out-exercise a bad diet.

But let’s get back to the workout, because it also plays a huge role. This workout is the perfect combo for losing belly fat: it combines HIIT and abs.

I did this routine today in the morning and realized it’s also a great way to start your day as well! You’ll feel strong, energized and happy you’ve done your exercises before 8am. And it took you like what? 15 minutes? Come on!

Now, let’s go – here’s a little warm up.

You’ll find the video demonstrations for each move below.

Instructions:

Perform each move for 30 seconds and take rests in between. I recommend doing 3-4 rounds total.

I did 30 seconds work, 20 seconds rest to transition into the next exercise. If you need longer or shorter breaks, don’t hesitate to adjust.

Don’t forget to warm up for 2-3 minutes and to play your favorite music to this! It makes everything SO MUCH easier and more enjoyable. I played Beyoncé’s B-Day Album, because I’m stuck in 2006 and also, because it’s a really good album.
