Fitness Coach Reveals 9 Home Workouts for a Flatter Stomach in 3 Weeks

Many embarking on a fitness journey find that belly fat is particularly resistant to shedding. Even after achieving overall weight loss, this stubborn fat can persist. If you're seeking effective strategies to reduce belly fat, you're in the right place. Forget spending endless hours at the gym. Fitness coach Daniel Leau presents nine simple home workouts that can help you eliminate that unwanted belly fat in just 21 days.

Leau recommends performing each exercise in sets of 50 repetitions. Let's explore the routine:

1. High Knees (50 reps)

This cardio favorite targets the hip flexors, quadriceps, and core (abdominals). High knees effectively elevate the heart rate while engaging the core. Maintain intensity for optimal results.

2. Bodyweight Squats (50 reps)

Squats are excellent for weight loss, especially in the midsection. This lower-body movement works the quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings, as well as the core and lower back. Squats activate the core for stability and provide an efficient calorie burn.

3. Butt Kickers (50 reps)

Butt kickers improve cardiovascular endurance and maintain engagement in the lower belly throughout the exercise.

4. High Knee Taps (50 reps)

This exercise improves coordination and activates the abdominal muscles. It targets the hamstrings, glutes, calves, and core.

5. Skater Lunges (50 reps)

Skater lunges effectively engage the core muscles. This lateral movement tones the legs, glutes, and core. The balance required also strengthens the mid-section.

6. Side-to-Side Punches (50 reps)

Don't underestimate the power of side-to-side punches. This simple boxing move targets the obliques and performs exceptionally well when paired with other high-intensity exercises. The obliques, shoulders (deltoids), chest, biceps and triceps, and core (rotational stability) are all activated during this exercise.

7. High Knee Tap (50 reps)

A variation of the earlier exercise, this time tap the opposite knees. This increases the intensity of the exercise, boosting endurance and maximizing fat burn, especially around the waist.

8. Side Crunches (50 reps)

Side crunches are a core-isolating exercise that directly targets the obliques, helping to sculpt a slimmer waistline. They also target the front abs.

9. Cross Crunches (50 reps)

This basic form of crunches engages both the upper and lower abs, with a twist that strengthens your core muscles. It may not be easy initially, but you can gradually build up the endurance to perform this workout effectively.
