Then walk back from B to A. While running increases your heartbeat, walking lowers it. Do 5 to 6 sets and every time you run make sure your speed keeps increasing. This burns a lot of fats.

b. Crunch. Lay flat on your back. Fold your legs like an inverted V. Put your hands above your head. Raise your upper body and then lower it back. This will crunch your stomach and activate your abdominal muscles

c. Plank. Lay flat on your stomach. Now raise your body with the help of your elbows and toes. Your body weight should be evenly distributed to the 4 four points of your body, i.e, your shoulders and legs. Your shoulder, hips and legs should form a flat surface and body should be parallel to the floor. Tighten your shoulder, hips and legs. Hold your pelvic by tightening and holding your abs. Your core muscles will start working. You can do variations by doing push up planks or side plank or mobilizing plank.

                

a.     d. Leg raise. Leg raises helps shape your lower abs and strengthens core. Lay flat on your back. Raise your legs till your body forms a 60 degree and then lower it. Repeat. While doing leg raises make sure your shoulders are tight and your upper body is stable. You can do variations like hanging leg raises, cycle leg raise, V up hold etc.

e. Russian twists. Lay on the floor. Raise your upper body to create a 60 degree angles. Fold your legs like an inverted V. Mark the two sides beside you as A and B. Now twist your belly from A to B and B to A. While twisting keep your core tight and back straight and not arched or hunched.
