Quick tip

Lower back health is very vital for day-to-day activity, from household chores to office work. Often people who carry a lot of fat in the abdominal region compromise on their back posture. A pot belly puts pressure on the disks of the lower back and leaves them vulnerable to injury. How do you go about reducing belly fat?

E. Ponmudi, Junior Mr. India, says, “Don’t start abdominal exercises the moment you sign up at a gym. Perform cardiovascular training every day. Start with a few minutes on the stationary bike or treadmill and gradually increase the duration to 30-45 minutes. After a few weeks, your stomach will start to reduce. Strengthen your lower back using exercises such as Good Mornings or Deadlifts, under supervision. After a while, you can slowly add abdominal exercises to your programme.”
