A FITNESS fanatic has shared her one minute workout that she says helps to target stubborn belly fat.

Petra Genco, who can be found on social media at @petragenco, uploaded a video of her sixty second routine that she said is catered towards beginners. 

She wrote alongside the post: “Blast that belly fat with this 1 minute workout.

“This routine is great for beginners to get fit at home.”

In the clip, the 54-year-old, who says her account is targeted towards “helping you get in shape”, goes through each move one by one.

Once the technique on each is clear, Petra then tells you how many repetitions are needed. 

Petra begins by saying that the first move is an energetic side step.

The footage shows Petra moving from side to side with her hands placed firmly at her hips.

She says that 12 of these are needed, before she moves onto the next one – opposite elbow to knee.

As she once again demonstrates how it’s done, she says exactly the same amount of reps are needed.

This is then repeated on the other side so that you use the other side of your body.

The fourth move in the sequence is the knee lift.

Moving to the side so that the camera can capture what she’s doing properly, Petra once again places her hands on her hips as she moves her knee up and down, alternating the leg each time. 

The final move in the routine is imaginary skipping – for another 12 reps.

To achieve this, Petra simply pretends to hold a skipping rope and does tiny jumps in the air as she rotates her wrists.

And her quick but effective workout certainly motivated her followers, as they said they wanted to give it a go and add it to their daily routine.

One commented: “Thanks, I like this. I’m going to try it.”

A second said: “Starting now…”
