Bulging Bellies…! (Part 2)

This will take care of any further bulging propensities of the belly. But the question is how to push the existing bulge back? The most effective exercises are simple, and they consist of strengthening and restoring the lost resistance of the belly and stomach muscles. Here are a few:

Bicycle-in-bed: Lie down flat on your back on a hard surface - the floor or a wooden board - preferably on an empty stomach. Stretch your arms out, then lift your legs one by one and move them alternately as if you are cycling. Do this about 35 times. But remember, this should not be done after meals.

Doubling-up: This exercise is a little strenuous but benefits both the belly and back muscles. Lie down on your back on a hard surface with legs straight and joined together and arms stretched by the side of the body. Take a deep breath then lift your right arm and left leg simultaneously and without bending the knee try to grasp the big toe of the foot with your hand, gently exhaling as the exercise progresses. You may not do it at once but after a few days when the back and belly muscles are sufficiently strong to support you as you lift your torso with the hand to catch the toe. Repeat it with the left hand and the right leg. Do this ten times daily and in a fortnight you will find yourself standing more erect than ever before with the belly perceptibly going in. This exercise too should be avoided after meals.
