The Leg Lift
Place yourself flat on the ground with both hands at the back of your head. Next, lift both legs up until they are at the 90 degrees position. Lower your legs slowly but don’t go all the way back to the floor. When they are near the floor, now repeat the process.
The Jack knife Sit-Up

With these, or any other exercises, don’t be concerned if you can only do a few repetitions. In time, you will develop the ability to do more.
Six-pack abs are possible for just about anyone. The secrets have all been leaked out a long time ago. The key is to stay with the program.
It is said that one has to eat a well balanced diet and start a regular workout program in order to burn fat. Be advised though that when exercising, you will be burning calories but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are burning fat. The main aim of any exercise program is to lose body fat which will not be possible from simply burning calories. This is because when you exercise, the body will start expending calories found in carbs in the body system, and not those stored as fat. For you to be able to burn calories from stored fat there needs to be a sufficient presence of oxygen.
There is a certain amount of oxygen that the body requires in order to start burning fat. As long as you maintain your target heart rate in the course of exercise, you will be guaranteed that you have correctly measured the right amount of oxygen for your body. It is important to note that if you go on burning calories from carbs, you will simply be losing ‘water weight’ which will be detrimental as it will lead to a reduction in your metabolism.
Factor in also the amount of calories expended from carbs as energy calories because when you lose many energy calories it will mean that your muscles will lack enough energy to enhance the body’s metabolism, which will indirectly expend fat. As such, you have to increase the amount of calories you consume when exercising to be able to replace the expended energy calories.
Burning Fat Calories when exercising
When doing aerobic exercise, the body goes through different stages before reaching the point of burning fat. Normally, it is said that the first 10 minutes of exercise burn carbohydrates (sugar) and not fat. Note however that unless you increase your exercise intensity, you will go on burning sugar past the 10 minute mark. Another way you will continue burning sugar is when you work extra hard and are unable to supply the body with sufficient oxygen to aid in the burning of fat. When exercising, you have to move at a steady pace so that the body will make use of stored fat as its main source of energy.
Burning Fat Calories when at rest
To be sure you are burning fat calories hours after working out, you have to take anaerobic exercises in form of resistance training. Resistance training or weight training will make you expend more calories when compared to aerobic exercises. This is because the calories you will be expending when in the process of working out will mostly come from carbs while at rest will be calories from stored fat. The reason why you continue expending fat hours after resistance training is because this form of training increases the metabolism which of course utilizes stored energy.
