Many of you have been asking for chair exercises for abs you can do at home.
Here it is.😉
This chair abs workout will fire-up your whole midsection. Just like the previous one you can do it at work or school without leaving your chair.
It’s perfect for persons who spend most of the day sitting and not being able to workout. Plus, there’s no need for any explosive movements as this is low impact.
Now remember, a workout by itself will not help you lose waist and belly fat.
You have to combine it with a calorie deficit meal plan that will automatically put your body into a fat burning mode.
A big misconception is that you can just do workouts and lose body fat without paying attention to your diet.
Don’t make that mistake like most people.
That’s why at the end of this guide, you will be given a meal plan that can be used as a guide to keep you in a reasonable calorie deficit(1) for the week.

It combines five different seated waist workouts, that will engage your upper and lower abdominal muscles.
