Flat stomach: the Pin Twins exercises to reduce belly fat
Fitness
Personal trainers Esther and Gema Pineda, Pin Twins, challenge with a routine of five exercises to reduce abdominal fat and tone the belly
PM1:44Flat stomach with five exercises in 10-12 minutes. The routine proposed this week by Esther and Gemma Pineda, known as Pin Twins, aims to reduce abdominal fat, strengthen the “core” and reduce inflammation of the gut. If in the previous routine the Pin Twins encouraged to be able to tone the buttocks until they remain like “stones” using a rubber or elastic band to reinforce the work, this time their proposal is intended to work another of the difficult areas: the abdomen.
In addition to the buttocks, legs and abdomen, the Pin Twins, who have more than 84.400 followers on Instagram and who design new tables for ABC Bienestar every week, have proposed in recent weeks routines to work on other difficult areas such as the inner face of the thighs, waist or chest and arms.
The Pin Twins training for reduce the volume of the gut and getting the desired “tablet” includes five easy-to-perform toning exercises. To carry out the session correctly they propose repeat the exercise 20 times and perform 3 sets. Of course, making a rest 1 minute between each series.
The results, however, are achieved with regularity y constancy. Thus, the Pin Twins propose to carry out this routine between two and three times a week and combine it with other types of exercises that complement this work.
Exercise 1: Seated Leg Extension
From the sitting position we extend our legs and open and close them, raising them in the movement, but without touching the ground. To perform the exercise correctly, we will use the palms of our hands as a support point backwards and we will lean lightly as shown in the video.
Exercise 2: Pyramid with displacement
We start by drawing a pyramid with our body supporting the palms of the hands and the tips of the feet. Next we will make a forward movement and another one backwards. In the latter we will try to touch the opposite foot with the tips of the fingers, thus bringing the soles of the feet towards the ground in the movement.
Exercise 3: Plank with knee bend
In an abdominal plank position, with the forearms resting on the floor, we will bend our knees towards the floor (but without touching it), alternating the movement of one and the other and maintaining the position. Remember to keep your hips aligned and not raise your buttocks too high.
Exercise 4: “Crunch” with twist
To perform the “crunch” or short abdominal, you begin by lying with your face up, resting on the floor with your knees bent. In the twist version proposed by the Pin Twins, the lift is done with the arms outstretched and once at the top, a turn is made to the left, it is lowered again and then another elevation is made by turning, this time to the right.
Exercise 5: Touch the ankles
Lying on your back we place the legs in a 90 degree position and the arms outstretched. To perform the exercise correctly the arms are raised towards the legs trying to touch the ankles with the hands.
