Belly fat has become a common problem that affects both appearance and health. Due to work, study and entertainment requirements, most young people have the habit of sitting for many hours in front of a desk or computer.
When sitting, fat will gather in the abdomen. Let's see what we can do to limit belly fat.
1. Pull the pillow
Knee pull-ups are simple exercises that help strengthen abdominal muscles, support metabolism, improve the digestive system, burn fat, and reduce belly fat quickly and effectively.

Doing:
Sit in a chair, keep your back straight.
Place your feet on the floor, hip-width apart.
Keep your back straight, then lift your right knee up and pull it close to your chest, while squeezing your abdomen.
You can place your hands on your shins to better stretch your lower abdominal muscles.
Repeat the movement 20-30 times on each knee.
2. Raise your knees to touch your elbows
This is a particularly effective exercise in reducing belly fat, helping to slim the waist. In addition, this exercise is very useful in increasing the oblique and lower abdominal muscles.
Doing:
Sit in a chair, back straight, arms behind your head.
Raise your right leg to sternum level. Tilt your left elbow to touch your right knee at the same time.
Then, repeat with the other side.
Perform 15 times in 4 rounds.
3. Bend forward
This exercise not only affects your abdominal muscles but also helps you stretch your entire back and aids digestion very well.

To do the exercise, sit on the edge of a chair with your feet hip-width apart.
Take a deep breath and while exhaling, bend forward from the waist, trying to touch your hands to the floor.
Stretch your spine and relax your neck while practicing.
Slowly return to a sitting position.
Repeat the sequence of movements 10 times.
4. Raise yourself on the chair
This movement is a great and extremely effective solution to help you break down belly fat and help firm your waist quickly.
Doing:
Sit on the chair, place both hands on the chair arms and hold tightly, putting force into your arms, lifting your body up.
Tighten your abs, lift your knees up to touch your chest. Hold this position for about 15-20 seconds.
Slowly return to the starting position and rest for a short while.
Repeat this movement 4 times.
5. Twist in the chair
This exercise stimulates the digestive system to function well. Furthermore, the exercise targets the obliques and rectus abdominis.
