Is stomach your worst body feature?

With stomach voted the most hated part in a recent study, here's your guide to losing the flab.

Want to flaunt your waist, but shy because of the flab on your stomach? Well, you're not the only one. According to a recent study conducted in the UK, stomachs have reportedly been voted the most hated part of the body, followed by love handles and bingo wings.

What the study says: When it comes to their worst features, almost a third of Britons voted for their stomachs, followed by the dreaded muffin top — basically the fat on the waist, flabby upper arms also known as bingo wings, thighs and noses. One fifth of the respondents also noted their chests or pecs as one of their worst features, as well as teeth and legs.

The study revealed that most people who consider one of their body parts as worst features don't opt for correction through cosmetic surgery. Among those surveyed, 85% said that they aren't planning on having any cosmetic surgery. However, almost four in 10 say they would consider changing something about their body if money wasn't an issue.

Think twice before heading for correctional surgery: According to experts, most people have hang-ups about their appearance, but cosmetic surgery is a big step and some operations are irreversible. Anyone looking into any kind of procedure should be 100% sure they are doing it for the right reasons and have realistic expectations of the results.

Researchers also advise on thorough research before heading for a correctional surgery. Choose a practitioner you're comfortable with and don't be hesitant to ask for second opinion. Although price can be a determining factor, make sure it isn't your sole focus. Aftercare is also essential.

Ways to burn belly fat:

Brisk walking: Go for a 20-minute walk every evening. Alternate the routes and try slopes for a full body workout.

Bicycle crunches: Lie on a mat and press your back against the floor. Link your fingers and bring them behind your head. Bend your legs at a 45-degree angle, lift your right knee up to the chest while straightening out your left leg. Simultaneously, raise your upper body from the ground and get your left elbow near your right knee. Switch to the other side in a way that you are in a bicycle riding motion. Repeat for one minute,three times a day.

Kettlebell swing: With your feet apart from the hips, hold a kettlebell with both your hands. Squat with a straight back and swing the kettlebell through legs and up to your chest. Continue swinging for 30 to 60 seconds.
