Weight Loss Exercises to Lose Belly and Abdominal Fat with the Pin Twins
Goal: flat stomach. The personal trainers Esther and Gema Pineda, Pin Twins, explain step by step how to exercise the abdomen with a routine of four exercises that will help you lose belly in a short time
“Reduce abdominal fat” and “get a flat stomach” are two of the goals that people who launch into abdominal work routines tend to pursue. However, the personal trainers Esther and Gema Pineda, Twins Pin, insist on the need to have as main objective the strengthening of the “core”, that group of muscles that surround the center of gravity of our body and that function as “stabilizers”. That is why the routine proposed on this occasion by the Pin Twins, who design a training routine for ABC Bienestar each week to train a specific area of the body, focuses not only on reducing inflammation of the gut, but also on strengthening the core.
If last week the Pin Twins, who are close to 88.000 followers on Instagram, encouraged us to get some legs of steel with a training for the lower body, this week they propose to work another of the difficult areas: the abdomen.
The Pin Twins workout to reduce gut volume and get ‘tablet’ includes four simple exercises that need to be repeated 15 times. Once the routine is completed, it would be repeated 4 times, with a 30-second break between sets.
Exercise 1: Bike back and forth
We start from the position of lying on the ground, with our elbows supported and we raise our legs to the left to perform a pedaling movement as if we were on a bicycle. We take five strokes with a wide opening in the air and then we turn to continue pedaling to the other side, that is, to the right. You can start on the side you want. We repeat the exercise 15 times.
Exercise 2: Star and hands to legs
We start from the lying position with legs and arms open, in the shape of a star, but with the abdomen activated (legs and arms slightly raised). Then we bend our legs and gather them towards the abdomen while we bring our arms forward, lightly holding the legs with our hands. We repeat the exercise 15 times. Remember to keep your head straight and your abdomen activated.
Exercise 3: Lateral Waist Raise
We start from the ground and stand in a lateral position, supporting the forearm and one leg (we will leave it bent). Once in this position, we raise the hip laterally, keeping the other leg straight and activating the hip and abdomen. We will repeat the exercise 15 times, first raising the hips on one side and then the other.
Exercise 4: Isometric plank and lift
We will start from the plank position, with the tips of the feet and the forearms supported. Next we will raise the buttocks drawing a pyramid and we will keep the abdomen activated and the back straight. We will do the movement slowly to work all the muscles. We repeat the exercise 15 times.
To achieve results in a short time, it is important, as advised by the Pin Twins, to practice this routine regularly and consistently (2-3 times a week) and combine this table with strength exercises to complement this work.
