1. Plank

 

The plank targets multiple muscle groups and is excellent for strengthening the core. To perform a plank, start in a push-up position, keeping your elbows directly under your shoulders. Engage your core, maintain a straight line from head to heels, and hold the position for as long as possible without compromising form.

2. Bicycle Crunch

 

This exercise engages the upper abdominal muscles while also working the obliques. Lie on your back, lift your legs at a 90-degree angle, and place your hands behind your head. Bring one knee towards your chest while simultaneously twisting your opposite elbow to meet it, alternating sides in a pedaling motion. Keep your core engaged throughout.

3. Russian Twist

 

The Russian twist strengthens the abdomen and obliques. Sit on the ground with knees bent and feet lifted. Lean back slightly and hold your hands together. Rotate your torso to one side, then the other, while keeping your core tight. Add weight for an increased challenge.

4. Mountain Climbers

 

Begin in a push-up position. Keep your core engaged as you quickly draw one knee towards your chest, then switch legs in a running motion. This exercise is great for elevating heart rate while working the upper abs, improving both strength and endurance.

5. V-Ups

 

Lie flat on your back with arms extended overhead. Engage your core as you simultaneously lift your legs and upper body to meet at the center, forming a 'V' shape. Hold the contraction momentarily before slowly lowering back to the starting position. Breathe steadily and maintain control throughout.

6. Leg Raises

 

This exercise primarily targets the lower abs but supports overall abdominal strength. Lie on your back with legs straight. Lift your legs towards the ceiling while keeping them straight, then slowly lower them without touching the ground. Ensure your back remains flat against the mat to protect your spine.

7. Flutter Kicks

 

Lie on your back with arms by your sides. Lift your legs slightly off the ground and begin an alternating kicking motion, keeping legs straight. Maintain a steady pace and avoid arching your back. This exercise helps sculpt the lower abs while engaging the upper abs.

8. Seated Overhead Reach

 

Sit on a mat with legs extended and a slight lean back, maintaining a strong core. Extend your arms overhead while keeping your back straight, then draw your hands down towards your knees. Each overhead reach should be controlled and deliberate, emphasizing upper ab engagement.

9. Rope Climbs (Static)

 

Simulate a rope climb by lying flat on your back with legs and upper torso elevated. Reach upwards with one hand, then switch to the other, mimicking a climbing motion. This exercise is an effective way to work the abs intensely, mimicking the reach and pull of actual rope climbing.

10. T-Rotation

 

Begin in a push-up position. Rotate your body to one side, extending the arm upwards to form a 'T'. Return to the center and switch sides. This dynamic movement works the upper abs and obliques while improving balance and core stability.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Upper Abdomen Fat

 

Plank, Mountain Climbers, and T-Rotation

 

  • Integrate Plank with Mountain Climbers and T-Rotation for a dynamic core workout. Start with a plank hold for 30 seconds, followed by 30 seconds of mountain climbers to raise the heart rate. Finish with T-Rotations, performing 5 rotations per side, to enhance core stability and oblique activation.

 

Bicycle Crunch, Russian Twist, and Seated Overhead Reach

 

  • Combine Bicycle Crunch with Russian Twist and Seated Overhead Reach to target both the upper and lower abs. Perform bicycle crunches for 1 minute, transitioning immediately into a Russian twist for 30 seconds. Conclude with 10 seated overhead reaches, focusing on controlled movements.

 

V-Ups, Leg Raises, and Flutter Kicks

 

  • Mix V-Ups with Leg Raises and Flutter Kicks to emphasize lower abdominal engagement. Begin with 10 V-Ups, continue with 15 leg raises, and finish with 30 seconds of flutter kicks. This sequence ensures continuous abdominal tension and muscle engagement.

 

Bicycle Crunch, Rope Climbs (Static), and Plank

 

  • Incorporate Bicycle Crunch with Rope Climbs and Plank to intensify upper abdominal focus. Start with 20 bicycle crunches, proceed to 10 rope climbs (per hand), then stabilize with a 30-second plank. This circuit fortifies core stamina and strength.

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.
