Because of your hectic schedule (or just laziness), you've been missing your gym routine quite frequently, and you suddenly realize that you have a wedding to attend in a week.

You want to wear your favorite saree or figure-hugging dress, but you're afraid your flabby tummy will bulge out. This causes you to be concerned about how to get rid of the fat around your stomach. While you won't be able to lose weight, you will be able to lose belly fat by lowering your total body fat percentage. And you don't have to entirely change your lifestyle to achieve a flat stomach in just 7 days! Simply follow these 7 steps to lose belly fat and show off your abs the way you've always wanted!

1. Circuit training

Circuit training should be done three times a week if you want to build muscle and burn fat at the same time. What are your options for accomplishing this? Complete one set of 15 repetitions of full-body movements such as lunges, push-ups, and pull-ups. Don't forget to jump rope for one minute after each activity. Per workout, you should be able to burn roughly 500 to 600 calories.

2. Go for abdominal muscles workout

If you're looking for a quick way to lose belly fat, put abdominal muscles training in your 'ways to shrink belly' list. So this happens three times a week. Three sets of 20 repetitions of crunches and leg raises should be completed. Planks are also a good exercise to practice. Hold your body in a push-up position on your elbows for 30 to 60 seconds for four sets.

3. Check your food

The type of food you eat during this time is crucial to whatever changes you want to make. Fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads and pastas, chicken, beef, fish, and low-fat dairy should be substituted for sugar-laden processed foods.

4. Avoid salt

Reduce your salt intake to reduce water retention. This suggests you should stay away from salt. Instead, use additional herbs and spices to season your cuisine.

5. Drink water

Make sure you have enough water to flush those toxins out. This will give you both a beautiful complexion and a flat stomach. Drinking water does not just imply consuming liters of water every day, but also consuming healthful beverages such as anti-oxidant-rich green teas and fresh vegetable and fruit juice.

6. Stay away from alcohol

Alcohol can cause bloating in the stomach. Stay away from alcohol for at least one week to achieve that beautiful belly for a figure-hugging garment or silk saree.

7.Say bye-bye to stress

Stress and anxiety can lead to an increase in the production of a hormone called cortisol, which promotes belly fat growth. So try to maintain your composure!

Common exercises to reduce belly fat

When you're attempting to lose weight, here are some exercises you should try.

Bear Crawl

Start with coming on all fours. Your hips and knees should be in line, and your hands should be below your shoulders. Raise your knees off the ground a little. Ensure that your back is flat, that your legs are hip-width apart, and that your arms are shoulder-width apart. Forward with your right hand and left leg. Repeat with the opposite leg and hand. Alternate sides as you repeat the move.

Bicycle Crunches

Lie down on your back with your legs stretched out and your arms by your sides. Lift your shoulders and upper back off the ground by placing your hand behind your head (do not interlock them). Bend your left knee and bring it to your chest, while moving your right elbow towards the center. In the middle, your knees and elbows should connect. After a brief pause, return your leg and hand to the starting position. Repeat the exercise with the opposite elbow and knee.

Sit-ups

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet firmly planted on the ground. Without tugging on your neck, place both hands behind your head. Raise your upper body off the floor and toward your knees. When you're done, don't forget to exhale. Hold on for 2-3 seconds before carefully lowering yourself back to your starting position. When you're going down, take a deep breath in.

Flutter kicks

Lie down on your back with your knees crossed and your hands beneath your buttocks. Raise your right leg slightly above hip height off the ground. Lift your left leg a few inches off the ground at the same time. It's best if your back is flat on the ground. Hold this position for 5 seconds before switching legs and kicking in a flutter kick motion. Lift your head and neck off the floor to make this exercise more difficult.

V-ups

Extend your arms behind your head while lying on your back. Your toes should be pointed and your feet should be kept together. Lift both your legs and your upper body off the floor while keeping your legs straight. Reach for your toes while keeping your core firm. Return to your initial posture by lowering yourself.
