The waist is one of the most problematic areas of the body when it comes to losing fat. It requires double the hard work as compared to other body parts. Those who put on easily and try hard to shed it understand the pain. If you too are struggling with your belly fat but don’t have time to the gym, don’t worry. You can easily get rid of those irksome tyres around your waist by doing some simple stairs exercises. Here are 5 effective stair exercises to lose 5 inches in 5 weeks!
Climbing stairs
- You are to climb two ladders at a time in this exercise.
- Note that the stairs are neither too big nor there is a huge gap, otherwise you may fall.
- Climbing two stairs at once, but while descending, descend one ladder.
- Keep pace and climb through the nose while climbing and landing.
- Do this as many times a day as you can. This will reduce your weight rapidly and reduce belly fat.
Jumping feet
- For this exercise, stand in front of the ladder and put both your hands on the waist.
- Now by jumping, first put one foot on the ladder and bring it back down, then put the other foot on the ladder and bring it back down.
- During this, keep taking deep breaths.
- This is an easy exercise so you can easily do it 40-50 times at a time.
- Along with reducing abdominal fat, this lower body part also benefits from this exercise.
Stair Triceps Dip
- For this, rest your hand on the first ladder from the ground in such a way that your back is towards the stairs.
- Now spread the legs towards the front while giving the weight of the body on the hands.
- Slowly lift the body up and down while putting body weight on your hands.
- During this, keep taking deep breaths.
- Do this exercise as often as you can. This exercise reduces your abdominal fat and makes the arms, back and waist strong.
Pushups

- Come in Plank's position.
- Now put emphasis on your arms and lift the body upwards while giving full weight of the body to the palms, then bring it back down (as pushups are done).
- During this time, let your chest touch the stairs every time.
- You can do 5 to 20 pushups at a time.
