According to Chris Wharton, Co-owner and Director of the Better Body Group, there are three stages of getting in shape before you can consider targeting certain areas for fat loss.

Create a calorie deficit: It is simply impossible to lose body fat without burning more calories than you consume. This is your number one fat loss strategy, and is best achieved by reducing your calorie intake.

Include compound exercises as part of your regular workouts: add squats, lunges, deadlifts, bench presses, and pull ups to make sure you are targeting all muscle groups.

Increase your levels of NEAT (Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis). Put simply, move around more throughout the day to increase the total number of calories burned.

He added: Once you are certain these bases are covered, you can start focusing on more specific body parts. Since a slim, sculpted belly area tends to be the most desired, there are three great abdominal exercises to add into your gym repertoire.

1. Myotatic crunch

Chris said: This is one of my favourite and one of the most effective exercises for sculpting great abs.

Aim for at least 3 sets of 12-15 reps.

2. Suitcase carry

Chris said: An often-ignored area of core training is the ability to hold and carry a weight on one side of your body. By off-setting the weight, you really challenge your obliques, the side trunk muscles, on the opposite side of the body as well the abs, lower back and deeper trunk musculature.

Aim for at least three sets of 20-30m on each arm.

3. Barbell roll out

Chris said: Another great core exercise that lengthens the abs, whilst putting them under tension. To give fair warning, this is likely to cause some muscle soreness for those that have never tried it before.

But this exercise is not advised for those suffering with any kind of back pain or hernias.

Chris added: If you find this too difficult, replace this exercise with a simple plank variation.

Incorporate these three moves into your regular workouts and you will soon start to notice that you have a flatter stomach and more defined waist.
