Take the regular lunges up a notch by adding a literal twist to them. Skater lunges are great for burning calories, targeting the waist area — especially the side fat — and shaping the hips and legs.

Remember the Russian twist exercise we did at the beginning? Weighted Russian twists are the same but more challenging. You can hold a dumbbell, kettlebell, weight plate, or a medicine ball. The weight adds resistance to your movement, which makes your obliques work harder and shed the fat faster.

Standing bar twists are also known as oblique twists. They work on your shoulders, sides of your upper back, and your abs. They work the difficult areas that most twist exercises cannot reach. Rotator discs are circular, flat discs. They are common gym and home gym equipment that effectively target the ab muscles and help get rid of side fat and belly fat.

It is also a fun exercise. You may do it holding a chair or the wall for support. You can also do it without support once you are comfortable and have better balance and coordination. This is another similar exercise to the Russian twist. But, it includes sit-ups as well. It is tremendously effective in building core strength, toning, improving balance, and shedding fat from the abdominal area. Another good way to challenge your abs is to add a jump, weights, and upper-body twist to a regular lunge.

It is a great full-body workout to burn calories and tone the sides of your belly, glutes, and thighs. Thankfully, adding twists to your workout routine can help speed up the process.
