Planks

One of the best exercises to strengthen the core muscles and lose weight easily, are planks. It may not look like too much effort is being made in this pose since all you need to do is draw your heels and the top of your head in different directions and keep your chest in between your arms while moving forward. Doing this on a daily basis will ensure you lose your belly fat and get rock hard abs. 

The Triangle

This exercise may also not look like much, but it will make your muscles shake and tone them. You need to spread your legs wide and ensure your hands are spread out and are parallel to the floor. Twist your body and and make your right hand touch your left leg and vice versa. This will tone the muscles in your arms and legs. 

The Downward Dog

Want to tone your entire body at once? Opt for the downward dog position as it focuses on strengthening your arms and thighs. You need to bend and touch your hands to the floor with enough gap between your hands and feet. Then try to move your hands as close as possible to your feet without bending your knees. And don't forget to breathe! 

The Bridge

This exercise is great for those who have ailments like thyroid and glutes and even accelerates weight loss. 

You need to lie down straight on a mat and bend your knees bringing your feet as close to your buttocks. This helps the abdomen in losing weight and improves digestion. 

Sun Salutation

One of the easiest exercises in the books, all you need to do here is lie down flat on your stomach, lay your palms flat on the ground parallel to your body and lift your upper body up while craning your neck backwards. Stretch as much as possible for a toned chest, midriff, arms and balance your metabolism.
