What’s a home gym without a set of weight plates on deck? These flat, heavy accessories attach to barbells for building strength and muscle mass. They can also be used to melt belly fat and tone your stomach. The beauty of having a set of plates is you can start at a comfortable weight and work your way up at your own pace. So, we’re here to share 10 of the best trainer-approved weight plate exercises for a slimmer stomach.
Weight plate exercises can be a beneficial addition to a well-rounded workout routine. 'If you’re after visible abs, some weight plate exercises can help you build up the abdominal muscles. That, in turn, can lead to a lean midsection if one’s body fat percentage is low enough ,' explains Amanda Capritto, CPT with PTPioneer.
Begin standing tall, holding a weight plate in both hands at chest height. Place your feet just outside shoulder-width. 'Bend at your knees as you lower your butt to the floor, continuing until your thighs are below parallel to the ground,' instructs Domenic Angelino, CPT with International Personal Trainer Academy . 'Then, press through your feet to straighten your legs and stand upright again, returning to the starting position.
