Jumping rope and indoor cycling will help you to burn a large number of calories.  Step 3 Strap an ankle strap around each ankle to perform the cable-lying leg raise, which targets the lliopsoas or inner hip muscles. Fasten a weight-block resistance cable to your ankle and lie on your back on a exercise mat. Position yourself far enough so that the cable is stretched out tight; grab a support behind your head. Bend your knees so that your thighs are perpendicular to your chest. Return to the original position by extending your knees until they are straight.  Step 4 Grasp the handlebars of the leg-raise machine to perform the lever vertical leg raise, which also targets the lliopsoas muscles. Stand on the foot bar with your knees bent slightly and hips resting against the pads. Keep your back straight and lift your legs up as high as they will go.  Step 5 Sit on an exercise bench to perform the weighted lying leg raise and place a weight between your feet. Lie back and grab hold of the bench just behind your head. Raise your legs upward, bringing your knees towards your chest. Go back to the original position by fully extending your knees.  Step 6 Sit on an inclined exercise bench with your butt positioned on the end of the high portion of the bench to perform a weighted decline sit-uup. Place your ankles under the weighted pad. Lie back and hold a weight on the front of your chest under your crossed arm. Lift your torso up so you are upright position and return to the starting point.
