Hello fitness lovers of #steemfitnesshub, i am poised to take you guys on our next workout-challenge, which is sit-up, and that marks our 11th workout program.

Our last three workouts have been focusing on abdominals, that's your tummy. Just as instructor01 @okoriepresh27 rightly mentioned "most of us would want to look good before traveling to our respective hometowns for holiday. Getting toned, shredded and with six packs." You can achieve all of these by following our fitness tips and practicing our workout-challenges.

The tummy has proven to be the hardest body part to work on and to maintain. Because that is where digestion takes place. Whatever you eat, first impact your tummy before your body as a whole. I will give you tips to follow and a workout to practice to get rid of your pot belly. Follow me!!

Tips

know the things to eat and when to eat them.

Minimize, if possible avoid junk or processed foods . Junk foods include confectioneries and bakeries. Most of us have the habit of taking buns and minerals, shawama and stuffs like that on a regular. If so, cut down your intake of those.

Avoid late dinner. The best time to have your dinner is 5p.m. to 6 p.m. The timing is appropriate because the human body does a lot of maintenance work at night, such as resting and renewing new cells. Think of what will happen if your body is still busy digesting, while it ought to be resting and renewing. That of course changes your body physique and gives you bloated tummy.

Having noted that, let me show you guys one of the most effective workouts for your tummy.

Sit-up

•Lower back and gluteal muscles

Benefits

1: Sit-up Improves posture by strengthening the above mentioned body parts and muscles.

2: It strengthens your core, which the highest motivator for performing sit-ups.

3: It Reduces your risk of back pain.

4: It enhances your athletic performance and improves your balance and stability.

How to do it

As a beginner you may not be able to do this on your own. Find someone to hold down your feet or you put your feet under your bed or find something similar.

Method 1:Lay on your back, bend your knees and place your palms at the back of your head. I had instructor01 held my feet.

method 2: Raise your torso up, taking up your chest to almost touch your quads. Return to the starting position to complete a rep.

Try doing 10repitions of 8sets, with time you augment your reps and sets.

NOTE: Avoid dropping your back with force to the floor while returning to the starting position to avoid injury.

I recommend you to practice the workout and drop your experience at the comment section.

Thanks for going through .
