Effortless Actions to Slice Abdominal Fat Without Dieting Past the Age of 45

Mike Poirier, the VP of Fitness at The Edge, has shared a plan to get rid of belly fat after the age of 45 that doesn't require a lot of time or be grueling. The plan involves six simple exercises that not only flatten the stomach but also exhaust multiple body parts while simultaneously engaging the core.

First on the list is the Cable Squat to Core Press exercise. To perform this, attach a cable to chest level, stand sideways to the machine, and perform a squat while keeping the cable near your body. As you rise up, press the cable straight out ahead of you, completely extending your arms, and then bring the cable back toward your chest.

The Dumbbell Squat to Press is another exercise that Poirier recommends. Start with a dumbbell in each hand, squat down, and then press the weights above your head as you stand up.

Walking Lunges With Dumbbell Curl to Shoulder Press is a standing move that flattens the stomach better than planks after 50. This exercise involves performing a bicep curl as you step forward into a lunge, followed by pressing the weights above your head in a shoulder press while standing up.

The Pushup to Side Plank exercise is a part of an 8-minute core routine that burns more fat than an hour of crunches after 50. To perform this, start in a high plank position, lower your body to the floor, and then push back up while shifting weight to one hand, rotating the body to the side, stacks the feet, and raises the top arm toward the sky in a side plank position.

The Dumbbell Pushup to Row exercise is a compound move that targets multiple muscle groups. Start in a high plank with a dumbbell in each hand. Bend the elbows and lower the chest toward the floor, followed by pressing back up and rowing one dumbbell toward the ribs.

Last but not least, the Romanian Deadlift is another exercise shared by Poirier that torches visceral fat in your 50s. To perform this, stand with a dumbbell in each hand, bend at the hips while keeping your back straight, and lower the weights toward your feet, before standing back up.

Establishing a calorie deficit is a surefire way to successfully lose weight in the midsection. By incorporating these exercises into your routine, you can create a more aerobic/anaerobic effect to increase heart rate and maximize caloric expenditure, while also working towards a calorie deficit through your diet.
