Introduction:
In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle has become increasingly important. One of the most common concerns many individuals face is belly fat. The accumulation of excess fat around the midsection not only affects our appearance but also poses a risk to our overall health. Fortunately, you don't need an expensive gym membership or fancy equipment to tackle this issue. In this blog, we'll explore the five best home exercises for belly fat that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine. Let's get started!

1 Planks:

Planks are a highly effective exercise that engages multiple muscle groups, including the core, back, and arms. To perform a plank, follow these steps:
a) Start by assuming a push-up position, with your hands directly beneath your shoulders.
b) Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels.
c) Hold this position for 30-60 seconds, focusing on maintaining proper form.
d) Repeat for 3-4 sets.
Planks not only target belly fat but also help strengthen your core muscles, improve posture, and increase overall stability.

2 Bicycle Crunches:

Bicycle crunches are another fantastic exercise for targeting belly fat. Here's how you can perform them:
a) Lie flat on your back, placing your hands behind your head and your knees bent.
b) Lift your head, shoulders, and feet off the ground.
c) Start by bringing your right elbow toward your left knee while simultaneously extending your right leg.
d) Switch sides, bringing your left elbow toward your right knee and extending your left leg.
e) Continue alternating sides for 12-15 reps per side, aiming for 3-4 sets.
Bicycle crunches engage your abdominal muscles, obliques, and hip flexors, providing an effective workout for your midsection.

3 Mountain Climbers:

Mountain climbers are a dynamic exercise that raises your heart rate while engaging your core and burning belly fat. Follow these steps to perform mountain climbers:
a) Start in a high plank position, with your hands beneath your shoulders.
b) Bring your right knee toward your chest, then swiftly switch and bring your left knee toward your chest.
c) Continue alternating legs as if you were climbing a mountain.
d) Aim for 30-60 seconds of continuous movement, and repeat for 3-4 sets.
Mountain climbers not only target your core but also provide a cardio element, helping to boost your metabolism and burn calories.

4 Russian Twists:

Russian twists are a fantastic exercise for targeting the oblique muscles, which are crucial for a defined waistline. Follow these steps to perform Russian twists:
a) Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground.
b) Lean back slightly and lift your feet a few inches off the ground, balancing on your glutes.
c) Clasp your hands together and twist your torso to the right, touching your hands to the ground.
d) Return to the center and then twist to the left, touching your hands to the ground.
e) Continue alternating sides for 12-15 reps per side, aiming for 3-4 sets.
Russian twists are an excellent exercise for toning your waistline and eliminating stubborn belly fat.

5 Jumping Jacks:

Jumping jacks are a simple yet effective cardio exercise that engages your entire body, including your core muscles. Here's how to perform jumping jacks:
a) Start by standing with your feet together and your arms by your sides.
b) Jump up while simultaneously spreading your legs wide and raising your arms overhead.
c) Quickly return to the starting position by jumping again and bringing your legs together while lowering your arms.
d) Aim for 30-60 seconds of continuous jumping jacks, and repeat for 3-4 sets.
Jumping jacks increase your heart rate, boost your metabolism, and help burn calories, including those stored around your belly area.

Conclusion:

Incorporating these five home exercises into your fitness routine can help you shed unwanted belly fat and achieve a trimmer waistline. Remember, consistency is key when it comes to seeing results. Along with these exercises, maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to maximize your progress. Start small and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as you build strength and endurance.

Also, quick explanation, this character was made more in turn with the story and world of P5 instead of gameplay, so while i did try to add a couple gameplay mechanics into this post, he wasn't made in that way. Just so you know (Also, the character names don't actually mean anything, i just realized that i didn't have any and quickly used a name generator just so i would have something for this post).

Character information

Real name: Hiruma Hachiguro
Codename: WIP (I considered "Demon" or "King", but didn't like either enough to actually choose them)
Firearm: None
Weapon: Chained arm blades (I don't know what it's called, so i improvised)Hiruma's weapon is a single blade attached to the side of each of his arms (Imagine the arm blade from Doom Eternal, but less bulky and on both arms), which are attached to chains and can be launched towards enemies. This fills in for his lack of a firearm, resulting in a much higher ranged attack count in exchange for much lower average damage output.
Persona: Shuten-DōjiHiruma's Persona takes after the "Demon king" of Japanese mythology, Shuten-Dōji. It holds a large Kanabō club in its right hand and large Gourds in its left hand and waist, which it uses do deal Fire damage to enemies.

STORY

Born into the famous Hachiguro family, Hiruma grew up surrounded by brilliant minds, and of course, he was no different. His older sister, Mitsuyo, was one of the greatest engineers of her time, having designed and engineered his filtering mask and special locks only usable by him. You see, Hiruma was born with a strange disease that made him lethally allergic to certain chemicals which are highly common in today's air, which has forced him to wear the special mask designed by Mitsuyo in order to have a chance at living a normal life. The mask covers his mouth and nose, and has many visible fans and filters all around it. As for how it's powered, Mitsuyo calls that an engineer's secret. Having loved watching his sister design and engineer her ground-breaking projects, Hiruma decided to follow in her footsteps, and after she left Japan to work abroad, he eventually transferred to Shūjin academy.
There, Hiruma met the Phantom thieves, and after only a couple weeks, was confronted with the Metaverse, and his first palace, which looked like an ancient temple combined with large amounts of heavy machinery. In this strange realm, he experienced the Phantom thieves' skills first-hand, and was eventually confronted with his first Palace ruler - A Shadow form of his older sister, Hachiguro Mitsuyo. The Shadow explained that she used to be the smartest engineer alive, but when Hiruma was born and everyone discovered how much smarter he was than her, she was abandoned by many companies, and eventually even by their own father. She designed his mask and then left the country to prove to their father he still needs her, and that she was sick and tired of hearing about Hiruma's life over and over.
Having heard those words for himself, Hiruma was able to unleash his Persona, but as it came into sight, it was clear that something wasn't right - The Persona appeared "incomplete" of sorts, like a canvas without a painting, or a song without a melody. This type of Persona would become known as a "Shattered Persona", a strange phenomenon in which someone releases is capable of releasing their rebellious spirit and unleashes a Persona, but still remains bound by something, which prevents their Persona to achieve its full power.
Despite this, the Phantom thieves defeated Shadow Mitsuyo, and Hiruma officially joined the group, yet still unaware of what is holding him back from unleashing his true power.
After some time, the Phantom thieves and Hiruma come across another palace, yet this one was beautiful. The further they pushed into the palace, the more obvious it was that this one was different from the others. After some time, they finally came face to face with its ruler, but just like the Palace, they were different from all the others. The Shadow was oddly kind to them, showing next to no hostility and treating the Phantom thieves with respect and addressing them as "Honored guests". After some time, the figure apologizes for its lack of manners, introducing itself to the Phantom thieves as Hachiguro Naizen - Hiruma's father.
Upon hearing this, Hiruma yells out at his father's Shadow, demanding to know the reason for this Palace's existence. He explains that when Mitsuyo was revealed to be a genius, he was as proud as a father could ever be, but when she left abroad, the company's associates began pressuring him about when she would return, and eventually, the company was at risk of bankruptcy. Then, just as he was about to give up, Hiruma was born, and they soon found out that he was even smarter than his older sister. Naizen was overjoyed with his son, but after the pressure of his company got under his skin, he was prepared to do whatever it took to keep him by his side.
To achieve this, he took advantage of a pollen allergy Hiruma had when he was young and forged a medical report to make it seem like he was unable to breathe regular air, hoping that he would be able to use this to keep Hiruma dependant on him.
GORE WARNING!!!! I MAY NOT BE GOOD AT EXPLAINING MOST THINGS IN MY HEAD, BUT GORE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. I WARNED YOU.
After realizing that the mask he has been forced to wear his entire life is pointless, Hiruma loses it and begins ripping the mask off his face with all his might. But since his sister truly believed their father's story, she made sure the mask could never be taken off, essentially fusing it with his skin (Not literally). Despite this, Hiruma continued to pull at the mask, and when the Phantom thieves noticed blood coming from his face, they begged him to stop - But Hiruma just continued to pull the mask off, tearing his skin off with it.
His blood sprayed everywhere as he tore the mask off, yelling out in pain with all his voice. But he knew that if he stopped now that it would only get worse, so he continued pulling at the mask, until he eventually managed to tear it off his face, the mask taking half of his face's skin and most of his bottom jaw along with it.
Through the intense pain, he summoned his Persona, placing his mask on its face, which was a perfect fit with the Persona's shattered face. Upon placing the mask, blue flames erupted from both of them, and Shuten-Dōji was finally whole, Hiruma having abandoned the thing he held onto for so long. As the Phantom thieves watched in awe and terror, fearing for Hiruma's well being after what he'd done, he turned around to face them, his face having somehow been repaired, as they saw his real face for the first time.
Having fully awakened to his new power, Hiruma had now fully joined the Phantom thieves, and with his the Demon king Shuten-Dōji at his side, they managed to defeat the Shadow of Hiruma's father, and upon leaving the Metaverse, Hiruma finally takes in his first breath of fresh air in over a decade.
"Heh... It's absolutely hideous. I love it"

I tried to cut myself today, and was very close to cutting deep enough for blood. I kept pressing the tip of my blade into my wrist and sliding it back and forth, but I couldn't push myself to push it any deeper than it already was. As it is now, it left some red marks, but I don't really think they're that noticeable. If things continue, I wonder if I'll keep trying.
I'm doing something that's I've been told is a bad thing my whole life, but why is it bad? Is it bad because it hurts? Those same people will say that the death penalty is good for those who've committed serious crimes, how is this any different?
I'm a terrible human being who doesn't see the value of human life. Isn't that the same as a villain? I'm a villain right? I'm been trying to see myself as a victim of something, that maybe there was a chance that I wasn't the bad guy, but I am. I'm nothing but a bratty teenager who whines about how difficult their life is, even though my responsibilities are the easiest things in the world. Driving isn't that hard, getting a better job isn't that hard, yet I won't do it. My mom thinks I don't want to listen to her, that she thinks I'm not aware of how messed up I am. I'm well aware of the sorry good for nothing person that I am, she should honestly just get rid of me.
I was told by her boyfriend:
"What are you waiting for?"
"Cat got your tongue?"
"Get off your ass and go do it!
"This is a man to man conversation, I'm not afraid to get in your face."
"There's a lot of people in this world that will do the same thing I'm doing, are you going to give them the same blank expression you're giving me right now?"
"Your mom told you to go take out the trash 4 or 5 times, are you just going to sleep in your room all day, or are you going to respect her for all the work she's done for you?"
"You would be nothing without her."
"When you're out in the world and your boss tells you to do something, are you just going to wait to do your responsibilities until you feel like it?"
"When we're finished here, are you just going to close your room and sit there angry at me? You can be angry at me all you want."
I shouldn't cry. I can't cry. I can't trust people with my feelings, because this is something that they will turn into. When it comes to who is more right, my mom is the obvious answer. She's right and I should feel bad for it, I need to suffer for being like this. They both know about my depression and my depersonalization disorder, and they know that its just the result of my incompetence.
I was depressed because my mom barged in and badgered me about my responsibilities. Everytime she talks about them, it gives me anxiety, especially from her. She tells me about how I don't make enough, and how I need to get a license to drive, and that I need to get a better job to "help myself" and all that. She knows about my mental illnesses, but just tells me to "get over it". She gave me demands, but when she left I could do nothing but cry.
To be honest, I'm scared.
I'm scared of big changes in my life. I'm scared of going back to how I was in school. Waiting for the days to go by and having each monotonous day start to blend in together. Living a life that didn't feel like a life, and a life that would continue on until I die. Feeling like a burden to anyone who's unlucky enough to have in their path, and feeling like an idiot for not having my life together while everyone around me is set on what they aspire to do. Being a giant faker who's trying to appear like everything is okay, even though every single waking moment I wish for someone to quietly take my life. I don't want to go back to all of that.
On the road, I could feel everyone staring at me, as if to say "this person doesn't know what they're doing, they don't belong here". I can feel everyone shaking their heads in my direction while they look at me in disgust.
"I'm not a burden right? I can't be a burden to everyone, there's no way I am!" When has someone been happy to be in your presence? When has someone not told you how poor of a job you're doing?
You are not a victim. You are a witch.
It doesn't matter how bad your past was or what your mom did to you and your brother when you were younger. She isn't that way now.
Forgive her.
It doesn't matter what she called you or what she broke. It doesn't matter what she said about your brother or if she put him in a police car for "disrespect". It doesn't matter that she doesn't regret what she did.
She's a single mother that worked multiple jobs and provided you with everything.
So forget it all, and just forgive her.

After the anticipations of the night, here are some more words from Steven Zhang from his interview with Gazzetta dello Sport :-
You now live in Milan and seem perfectly integrated in the city. Do you also feel a bit Milanese?
"I love Milan very much. I learned about Italian culture, traditions and mentality. I often tell my friends that today I feel 40% Chinese, 30% American, 20% Italian and 10% citizen of the world. I don't speak Italian properly yet but I understand it. And the Chinese way of thinking is quite similar to yours."
Football is a particular company: it requires managerial skills but also passion. How important is it to find the right balance? And has your growing passion for Inter led you to make some irrational choices?
«It's a risk I run during the transfer market when I want to buy the best players right away and I don't look at the budget or balance sheet. Yes, sometimes it happens that passion overwhelms the rational part, when you make purchases or decide not to give in... I often ask our sports director Ausilio: "Piero, aren't we making a mistake?". Dialogue with my managers is essential to seek that famous balance between rationality and passion».
You have shown that you know how to choose your coaches: Pioli, Spalletti, Conte and now Simone. Three of them have won the last three league titles and one is in the Champions League final. Does it give us a judgment on each one?
“They all taught me something. Pioli was the first coach I worked with in my life. I wanted to have an Italian coach who knew the championship perfectly: Stefano gave me the basics. I am very close to Spalletti because he paved the way for play, work and results, bringing Inter back to the Champions League: a fundamental goal at the time. With him we had one of the best defenses and I understood the importance of a big back if you want to win. Do you know what Moratti once said to me?".
No, tell us about it.
"Dear Steven, I made many mistakes during my presidency, focusing only on the great strikers, but when I started buying the great defenders, then I started winning. And he quoted Samuel... It's an important lesson that I learned from him".
With you?
"Since we bought Inter I immediately wanted one day to have Conte on the bench. He is a tough technician, with a strong personality, I think I've never seen him happy, satisfied or smile. After a victory he immediately thought about the next one, never a moment of relaxation or satisfaction. But this is how he brought the Scudetto back to Inter after 10 years, interrupting a Juve cycle that seemed endless"
You are always very composed, but in the stands at San Siro, when Inter miss a great chance or concede a goal, do you ever get a curse in Italian?
"Yes, i say… fuck you!".
Does your father always follow Inter? And will he come to Istanbul for the final?
"Dad is very close to Inter, he follows all the championships, even the foreign ones and the cups. He's trying to surprise us and come tomorrow, but it's not easy to fit his work commitments".
How can you summarize the corporate project of Inter?
"A right mix between tradition and innovation. We have a strong bond with Nerazzurri history and roots, we care a lot about the relationship with the fans and the local area. But we also always look towards the future".
This is demonstrated by the new modern headquarters in the skyscraper area and the fact that the club has grown from 120 to 600 employees. Inter has never been so international, yet the management has remained entirely Italian. Why?
"Often foreign companies when they go abroad make the mistake of not understanding what the country's culture is like. If you think you dominate the market without knowing it, you only risk being arrogant. Six or seven years ago when I arrived in Italy it was Urbano Cairo who gave me the first piece of advice: if you want to win you need someone who knows our football well and how a club works. And then he gave me the right name: Beppe Marotta. If you want to stay in a country, you also have to know how to adapt to that country. I need Italian managers".

Well reddit, I did the challenging series of tasks that are, ironically, required to get diagnosed

1. Find psychiatrist, one that will not shame your marijuana use and self-medicating methods. One that also is willing to prescribe stimulants. Many in this city won't even consider it.
2. Talk about your problems at length, try to impress to yet another mental health professional that you do not think you're bipolar.
3. Work with psychiatrist to get a blood test and rule out anything else. Repeat blood test a week later, after waiting in the lobby for two hours when first sample didn't make it to the lab
4. Start supplements for vitamin deficiencies, deficiencies not helped by irregular and challenged eating habits
5. Go to a neuropsychologist as recommended by psychiatrist. Sit in a bleak little office repeating back a list of random words from memory and drawing exercises. Cry, even when you didn't think you were going to.
6. Get take-home work to express your personal challenges based on ADHD criteria. Get ADHD partner to fill out one from his perspective. Oh, and you have to mail it in.
7. Mail in your forms 5 months later...lol
8. Attend final appointment with neuropsychiatrist to go over results. Cry again, even when you didn't think you were going to. Get ADHD diagnosis
9. Attend yet another psychiatrist appointment. You now have a diagnosis, and you get to try meds!

I'd previously been put on short-term release Adderall from my random GP years ago, and I honestly hated it. It worked, but I also crashed multiple times a day, and frequently forgot to take my second dose. Woof. I quit cold turkey once I ran out.
Now I'm on the extended release version, and it's like night and day. I don't feel as jittery because it's not so concentrated, I'm not in a bad mood once it's worn off, and I can feel its support even a little past my workday.
Today is the second day in a row I sat down and got my work done in a timely fashion. Tidied my apartment without internally wrestling with myself and lying on my couch paralyzed. And, felt present enough to enjoy quietly lying next to my kitty and petting her soft fur without the need for extra stimulus.
I know it's the honeymoon phase, but I couldn't really conceive of what it would feel like to get something done for work without thinking about it in a million ways and then ultimately not doing it because I feel too anxious about doing it wrong. Turns out, people can just do things they vehemently don't want to do? I've been missing out!
Anyway, thanks for reading my goofy essay. I appreciate this sub and wouldn't have gotten as far as I did without the support and insight from all of you lovely people. Very psyched to post a success story. :-)

It’s the third day in a row that I woke up early for go running, walking and skipping the rope at my local park
I did it even last summer and I know mostly every person there, among them some old people who are pretty mean for bullying some visibly disabled kids that are there
So today I heard them clearly referring at me as r slur, saying that I’m not normal and that I must miss something and that I’m not in my right mind

I (F25) am tired of my husbands (M25) complete lack of interest for cooking. I come from a family in which both of my parents cooked. Dinner was always served at 6. No left overs and always an actual meal (protein, carb, fat and a salad). My husband on the other hand… is used to eggs or tuna for dinner. This comes all the way from his childhood, despite his family being upper middle class and having a SAHM. For the last year that we’ve been married, my husband takes absolutely no initiative to cook dinner. Now, he never expects me to cook either. He’s fine with making himself and I some tuna with crackers or a PB&J. Survival food as I like to call it. But when I choose to cook, I won’t say they’re extravagant meals, but it’s what I would consider an actual meal. An example of a meal I made this week is beef Bolognese and a simple Cesar salad. Nothing Gordon Ramsey would applaud for, but I mean it shows a little more effort than tuna and crackers?
You may be thinking… why don’t I cook every day? Well, we both work full-time. We finish our work at the same time every day (5pm). His commute is 10-12 mins to our house and I WFH. We share all other responsibilities in the home like laundry, cleaning, washing dishes. Pretty much everything 50/50.
Today at 9pm, as a result of being hangry, I asked him why he never takes the initiative to cook an actual meal for us, and that it felt unfair that I’m the only one who seems to put effort into cooking for the both of us. He said “ok, well what do you want me to make?” I told him “spaghetti pomodoro” easy enough right? Well he somehow turned into tomato jelly! The sauce was abundantly sweet. And at this point it was 10pm, hungry and I was just so mad. And honestly it just feels like weaponized incompetence at this point. So I told him his sauce was disgusting and he kept asking me how he could make it better but I just told him to figure it out himself. He never did. He just threw it all away and now I’m here, at 2:41, still hungry.
Was I the asshole? Now he won’t talk to me.
*** I realized I didn’t mention this, but throughout our relationship when he’s had random spurs of wanting to cook, I always help him and answer all of his questions…. Today I was just so tired of having to do that. ***

Why are professionals choosing an Online MBA today?

Have you ever considered why the number of working professionals opting for an Online MBA is increasing yearly?
It is not just due to the zeal of earning a master's degree in marketing and business. Instead, several other factors influence others to choose an Online MBA. Without more clarity, you won't understand the prospect of studying the master's program even after completing the bachelor's and working in one of the reputed firms. The lack of understanding will even interfere with your decision-making ability, forcing you to ponder your choice of completing an MBA while working full-time.
To help you understand the opportunities you can get once you complete one of the best Online MBA Programs, we have illustrated some of the perks of this educational degree.

No compromise with the job

One of the many reasons people opt for top-rated MBA programs is that they won't have to compromise their jobs.

However, with the online program, there won't be such a necessity to sacrifice a position to gain a master's degree in marketing and business.
Most universities with the best Online MBA programs for working professionals allow learners to continue their job without hassle. If they miss the classes, they can connect with the trainers or access the recorded sessions to learn what was taught.

Access to online study materials and resources

Going to the library and getting the books now and then will only be possible when you work. However, the top-rated Online MBA programs offer learners the required study materials and resources through a Learning Management System. As a result, you won't have to worry about not getting enough materials to help you complete your studies and the exams with excellent marks.
Apart from this, you will also get the opportunity to connect with the faculty for a one-on-one understanding of all the aspects of the program. This is one of the reasons why an Online MBA for working professionals is a much better option for advancing their careers and getting excellent opportunities in entrepreneurship, managerial roles, and business executive roles.

Upskilling opportunities

Usually, the best Online MBA Programs allow working professionals to continue gaining experience in the work field, become pros in hands-on function, and implement the program learnings in real-time from the beginning.
In other words, as you develop your critical thinking and decision-making skills through the Online MBA program, you can utilize the same to make any crucial decision at your workplace and become the highlight of your seniors. As a result, the Online MBA programs will help you develop your experience in the work field and gain more knowledge and skills in business and marketing simultaneously.

Opportunity to grow a professional network
