5 Easy Tips to Lose Lower Belly Fat That Won't Come Off Easily

 

Reasons for a protruding lower abdomen

 

Age

As you age, your basal metabolic rate decreases, causing your belly to protrude. If you do not control your diet while exercising, you will accumulate 'age-related fat' in your lower abdomen.

 

Constipation

If bowel movements occur less than twice a week, or if hard stool is passed during constipation, or if bleeding accompanies it, it can be considered constipation. Symptoms of constipation include persistent abdominal pain or bloating, and a distended lower abdomen.

 

Irregular eating habits

If you frequently overeat, eat late at night, or have a habit of lying down before digestion is complete, belly fat can easily accumulate. Poor digestion leads to fat buildup in the body, causing bloating and gas in the stomach, which can result in abdominal obesity.

 

Stress

If your belly fat sags and feels soft and squishy, it is likely to be gained due to stress. When stressed, the hormone cortisol is produced, which easily raises blood sugar levels and causes the consumed food to be stored. Therefore, overall metabolism decreases, and frequent false hunger feelings increase the likelihood of gaining weight.

 

5 Postures to Reduce Lower Belly Fat

 

Leg posture

 

Please lie down in a proper position, bend your knees at a 90-degree angle, and sit up. Extend your arms straight down, then exhale and slowly lift your hips and thighs. This stimulates the lower abdomen and core muscles and helps with hip lifting.

 

V posture

Sit your hips properly on the ground and keep your spine straight. Then, slowly lift your legs to form a V shape and hold for one minute. This helps strengthen your core and is good for reducing lower belly fat.

 

Seated posture

Slowly lift your legs over your head while lying in a proper position. Support your body with your hands placed underneath. This reduces appetite and is good for dieting and strengthening the spinal core.

 

Tabletop posture

Sit upright with your knees bent and place your palms on the ground. Slowly lift your upper body, hips, and thighs to form a table-like position. This helps reduce forearm fat and strengthen your core.

 

Camel pose

Stand on your toes, spread your knees to hip-width apart, then breathe and slowly lean your upper body backward. This helps stimulate metabolism, strengthen the core, and eliminate excess fat.
