How to Lose Belly Fat Without Weights

You can lose belly fat without weights.  As a matter of fact, you can lose belly fat without any equipment at all.  All you need is some energy and yourself to create the resistance that you need to build abdominal muscles and burn away belly fat.  Here are some effective exercises that you can do to burn belly fat without weights.

• The hip roll

Lie flat on your back and bend your knees with your feet flat on the floor.  Your arms should stay down at your sides.  Keeping your back straight and your knees together, twist your lower body to the right side.  Your shoulders and feet should remain close to the ground, while your knees move towards the floor on your right side.  Your abdominal muscles should be contracted.  Exhale as you bring your knees to the starting position, and do the same thing on towards the left side.  Repeat these steps several times.  You should feel a burn in your abs, and that means you are burning belly fat.

• The seated knee tuck

Sit with your back straight and you knees bent in front of you.  Your heels should touch the floor.  Keeping your back straight, lean slightly back and use your abdominal muscles to pull your knees to your chest.  Hold for one second and extend your legs out so that your body forms a V.  Again, bring your knees in towards your chest, then extend your legs all the way out into the air.  Do not curve your back, and remember to inhale when your knees come in to your chest, and exhale when you extend your legs.  Make sure that you lean back so that you are using your midsection.

• The standing rotation

Stand with your feet slightly apart.  Place your hands behind your head.  Holding your balance, bring your left knee up while twisting your mid section to touch your right elbow to your left knee.  Return to the starting position.  Lift your right knee and touch your left elbow to your right knee.  Repeat alternating sides, keeping your hands behind your head.

• The plank

Lie on your stomach with your toes to the floor and your elbows directly under your shoulders.  Raise your body up making a straight line from the top of your spine to your feet.  Hold this position for as long as you can while tightening your abs.  Do not raise your head or buttocks, and do not sag.  Make sure your body forms a straight line.

All of these exercises will help you to tone your abdominal muscles and burn belly fat.
