15 Exercises to Reduce Post-Holiday Belly Bloat

Working your core may seem like the opposite of what you need when you're feeling bloated, but Chadwell and science disagree: "A strong core can easily contract and push unwanted air out of your system." Lie on your back with hands placed behind your head. While keeping your knees slightly bent, lift your upper body off the floor by contracting your abs, not by using your hands to lift your head. Sit up until your elbows touch your thighs and repeat. Grab a helpful family member to hold your feet if you feel at all unsure of this move.
