3 Belly Fat Burning Exercises
July 7, 2009 by Jessica Harmon
It’s the area of the body that generally holds the most amount of fat. Yes, we’re talking about the stomach. This is likely to be the place that your body will store the excess energy in the form of fat. So people look for belly fat burning exercises to help shift this fat and develop a thinner waistline.
Here are 3 belly fat burning exercises that you can do today to help melt away that layer of unwanted fat:
#1 – Warm ups
Before you begin any kind of exercise, it is important to warm up. This prevents injury but also helps you burn more calories. Your warm up should consist of using your body weight (no weights) to exercise your major muscle groups. It should only last around 5 minutes but should include stretching and working as many muscle groups as you can.
#2 – Weight Training
Weight training is not only great for building larger muscles; it also burns a lot of calories in the process. You should train for no longer than 20-25 minutes in total. Just focus on different muscle groups each time you train. Keep the weights heavy and complete low reps. This will help you build up muscle mass faster than using lighter weights and doing more reps. That will just tone your muscles.
#3 – Interval Training
Interval training is widely known as a superb calorie burner. If you are running, then run for 2 minutes as hard as you can, then jog for 1 minute. Repeat the process for as long as you can keep it up.
By using a combination of these 3 different exercise methods, it helps you build a strong body but also helps you burn calories fast.
Not only are they great belly fat burning exercises but your overall body fat percentage should reduce dramatically too.
Of course you should also balance this out with eating a healthy diet. Make sure you have lots of fruit and vegetables and drink plenty of water each day. This will make for a real calorie burning experience!
