Seated with your knees bent, lift your legs and upper body into a V shape. This engages all of your deep core muscles, which helps for digestion and improving strength in your abs.

Hold a stable plank where your core is tight and your spine is in alignment for 3 - 5 breaths to engage the abs, elevate heart rate, and reinforce deeply core strength to burn fat.

Lying on your belly lift your chest off the mat, using your arms. This gentle backbend works on strength in your abdomen, massages the abdominal organs, and can result in burning belly fat.

Lying face down bend your knees, grab your ankles, and lift the upper half of your body off the mat as well as the soles of your feet. This backbend tones the abs and helps digestion, which can reduce belly fat.

Kneel and arch backward into camel pose, allowing your core and abs to stretch. This asana increases metabolic stimulation and flexibility in the core while enhancing digestive function.
