Plank

 

To perform a plank, start by lying face down on the ground. Push up onto your elbows and toes, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core without letting your hips sag or lift. Hold this position for 30 seconds to a minute, gradually increasing the time as you build endurance.

Bicycle Crunches

 

Lie on your back with your hands behind your head and your knees bent. Lift your shoulders off the ground and bring your right elbow towards your left knee as you extend your right leg. Alternate sides in a pedaling motion while keeping your core engaged. Perform for 15–20 repetitions on each side.

Russian Twists

 

Sit on the floor with your knees bent, leaning slightly back with your back straight. Hold a weight or a ball with both hands and lift your feet off the ground. Rotate your torso to the right, then to the left, tapping the weight on the floor beside you with each twist. Continue for 15–20 twists on each side.

Mountain Climbers

 

Assume a push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart. Quickly draw one knee towards your chest, then switch legs in a running motion. Keep your hips down and core tight. Perform this exercise as rapidly as possible for 30 seconds to a minute.

Leg Raise

 

Lie down flat on your back with your legs straight and your arms by your sides. Keeping your legs together, lift them towards the ceiling until they form a 90-degree angle with your body. Slowly lower them back down without touching the floor. Repeat for 15–20 repetitions.

Burpees

 

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Drop into a squat position with your hands on the ground, then kick your feet back into a plank position. Perform a push-up, jump your feet back forward, and leap up into the air. Repeat for 10–15 repetitions.

Flutter Kicks

 

Lie on your back with your legs straight and extended. Lift your feet off the ground slightly while keeping your legs straight. Quickly move your legs up and down in a fluttering motion without touching the floor. Continue the motion for 30 seconds to a minute.

Standing Oblique Crunch

 

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your hands behind your head. Lift your right knee towards your right elbow as you crunch your oblique muscles, then return to the starting position. Alternate sides for 15–20 repetitions each.

Boat Pose

 

Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Lean back slightly and lift your feet off the ground, balancing on your sit bones. Extend your legs and arms forward, forming a V shape with your body. Hold this position, keeping your core engaged, for 30 seconds to a minute.

Side Plank

 

Lie on your side with your legs straight and feet stacked. Prop yourself up with one arm directly under your shoulder. Lift your hips to form a straight line from head to feet. Hold this position while engaging your core and oblique muscles. Perform the exercise on each side for 30 seconds to a minute.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Belly Fat

 

Plank and Mountain Climbers

 

  • Combine Plank with Mountain Climbers to enhance core strength and cardio. Begin with a plank hold for 30-60 seconds, then immediately follow with mountain climbers for 30 seconds to a minute. This combination maintains core stability while increasing heart rate for fat burning.

 

Bicycle Crunches and Russian Twists

 

  • Pair Bicycle Crunches with Russian Twists for a focused oblique workout. Perform bicycle crunches for 15-20 reps on each side to target the obliques and rectus abdominis, then transition to Russian twists for 15-20 reps per side to intensify the rotational force.

 

Leg Raise and Flutter Kicks

 

  • Combine Leg Raises with Flutter Kicks to work the lower abs continuously. Execute leg raises for 15-20 repetitions, keeping movements controlled, then segue into a set of flutter kicks for 30-60 seconds to maintain engagement of the lower abdominal muscles.

 

Burpees and Standing Oblique Crunch

 

  • Mix Burpees with Standing Oblique Crunch to alternate full-body and oblique-specific movements. Start with 10-15 burpees to elevate your heartbeat and incorporate whole-body dynamics, then perform standing oblique crunches for 15-20 reps each side for core sculpting.

 

Boat Pose and Side Plank

 

  • Combine Boat Pose with Side Plank to focus on core strength and balance. Hold the boat pose for 30-60 seconds, maintaining a strong core connection, then shift to a side plank on each side for 30 seconds, reinforcing lateral core conditioning and stabilizer engagement.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
