What are some exercises that slim down your belly?

Planks, squats and cardio are just some of the popular exercises to slim down your belly. Planks also engage the arms, glutes and thighs, along with the entire core area.

Do planks by kneeling on all fours and extending into a push-up position. Holding the pose for 1 to 2 minutes provides the level of exercise needed to get rid of belly fat. Using weights to maximize muscle engagement is important for several other exercises that target belly fat, including deadlifts and squats. Squats combine muscles in the core and thighs, with the main focus on the abs. The swing action of kettleballs added to any squat slims the belly as well.
