If you're still struggling with sit-ups at home to lose weight, then, STOP! Sit-ups aren't meant to help you shed those pounds. Instead, you'll need to do the right workout routines that actually work! Here's a list of them: 

1- Weight training

Switch your focus to building muscle instead. This will help you burn fat, restore your body shape & speed up your calorie burn! You won't need those gigantic, fancy weights from the gym for this.

Just a set of dumbbells, a workout bench & some floor space at home. Follow this plan:

- Dumbbell Bench Press- 12 reps. 

Position yourself so that your head, back, & butt are all on the bench. Keep your feet flat on the floor. 

- Dumbbell Row- 12 reps on each side. 

2- High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

You probably heard of this No.1 recommended exercise by gym instructors to burn your unwanted fat. You'll commit yourself to short intense exercise for 10 to 30 minutes with recovery periods.
