Muffin top, love handles, tummy tire — whatever the name, it's not
something we want to hold onto. While strength-training moves that
target this area won't diminish belly fat entirely — cardio is also key
— building muscle mass helps your body burn more calories. When you
finally lose the body fat around your middle, core-toning poses like
these will reveal a sleek and strong physique. As a bonus, this sequence
will also strengthen the arms, butt, and thighs.
- From Warrior 1, inhale to open your hips, arms, and chest to the left.
- Gaze past your right fingertips, keeping your front thigh parallel with the floor.
- Stay like this in Warrior 2 for five complete breaths.
