Belly fat can be stubborn. But there is a “hanging belly workout” that is simple but can be effective in increasing fat burning, resulting in inch loss.
Planks are the quintessential bodyweight exercise. The best part? You can do them anytime, anywhere. They are a fantastic exercise for staying fit because they can help strengthen many important parts of your body. Online fitness trainer Nikita, who “went from 71kg to 52kg” and shares weight loss tips and workout plans on her Hustle Nikita Instagram account, recently posted a plank workout plan.

She shared a video of her “belly fat burning workout to get rid of saggy belly,” which she says helped her shrink her waist from 38 inches to 28 inches. Some of these are classic exercises you’ve probably done before, and Nikita loves them because they strengthen the core and work to burn belly fat at the same time.
Read on for all the details on her 5-step abs workout:
1. Plank – 30-60 seconds, repeat 3 approaches
Here’s how to do it: Start on all fours with your hands and knees on the ground. Your hands should be directly under your shoulders. Extend one leg straight out behind you, then the other so that your feet are about hip-width apart and you’re balancing on your toes.
2. Leg lifts – 15 repetitions, repetition of 3 approaches
Here’s how to do it: Start by lying on your back with your hands behind your head (shown here) or by your side, palms down. Lift both legs up to the ceiling.
3. Climbers – 30 seconds, repetition of 3 approaches
Here’s how to do it: Starting from a plank position, you’ll alternate between bringing one knee to your chest and then kicking back, accelerating each time until you “run” into the floor.
4. Reverse crunches – 15 repetitions, repeat 3 approaches
Here’s how to do it: Bend your knees 90 degrees and pull them toward your head. Lift your hips off the mat, keeping your knees bent and your head straight. Lower your hips to the ground and return to the starting position.
5. Bicycle crunches – 15 repetitions in each direction, repeat 3 approaches
Here’s how to do it: Lie on your back. Gently hold your head with your hands. Pull your shoulder blades back and slowly raise your knees to about a 90-degree angle, lifting your feet off the floor. Pedal the bike.
