It's no secret that a diet by itself will not help you lose weight. Teaming a diet with the right exercise plays a very important part in a person's weight loss journey. If you're stressing about those bulges that you can see in your LBD, then it's about time you start working out towards a healthier lifestyle. Here are some easy exercises that you can try at home to help you achieve a flat tummy.

Lie down on your back, with your knees bent and feet on the ground. Place your hands under your neck or keep them crossed on your chest (we suggest you go for the under your neck option). Then lift your upper torso towards your knees. Remember to inhale while you lift your torso and then exhale. Inhale again when you're lying back down and then exhale. Repeat this exercise in sets of three with ten repetitions in each set.

All you need for this is a yoga mat. Lie on the floor and keep your hands on either sides or behind your head. Lift your legs off the ground and then bend your knees. Then move your legs as if you're riding a cycle. Do this in sets of two with at least ten repetitions in each set. Remember not to jerk your neck or you'll end up in pain.

Stand with your legs apart and keep your knees slightly bent. Take your hands forward and make sure that you keep them parallel to the ground. Then take a big step forward with your leg and sit down as if on a chair so that your knees make a 90-degree angle with the floor. Your other leg should be positioned backwards to be supported by your toes. Then twist your torso from side to side. Repeat this exercise 15 times with each leg. And keep your back straight to avoid hurting your spine.

If you're looking for core strengthening you should opt for the plank. It improves your posture by helping build your isometric strength. Get down on the floor in the push-up position. Bend your elbows and put your weight on your forearms. Try to form a straight line with your body which should be parallel to the floor. Suck your belly button in and hold the plank for as long as possible. Repeat this exercise 5 times. Take deep breaths when you're doing the exercise.
