A fitness expert shares five effective standing exercises to help flatten the lower belly faster than floor exercises, especially beneficial for those over 50, by engaging core muscles and improving stability against gravity.
Losing lower belly fat can be challenging, but it's important for both aesthetic and health reasons. A review of studies found that a larger waist size is associated with a higher risk of early death. To melt lower belly fat, incorporate high-intensity exercises that engage multiple muscle groups and use one leg or arm at a time. Some effective exercises include Bulgarian split squats, kettlebell swings, goblet split squats, dumbbell neutral grip overhead press, T-pushups, squat + press, TRX jump squats, single-arm cable row, atomic pushups, and walking for at least 60 minutes daily.
