The Best Exercise To Lose Belly Fat

     So you have been dieting for weeks and your belly is not reducing as fast as you would like; what steps can you take to accelerate your weight loss. The first thing you need to do is increase the amount of aerobic exercise that you are undertaking, this can be anything from jogging around town to a full blown gym workout. Whatever you choose, always make sure you consult a physician prior to beginning to make certain that your exercise program is not going to be detrimental to your healthy.

The first step is to ensure that you have warmed up and stretched adequately, doing this at the beginning and end of your exercise session will reduce the amount of lactic acid that builds up in your muscles thereby reducing your stiffness the next day. So for the first month start with twenty minutes of exercise that increases your heart rate and gets you pink in the face. You should try to do this at least three times a week in order to get the maximum benefit from your exercise.

Now if your aim is to lose belly fat you may wish to arrange you program so that the best exercise to lose belly fat are incorporated into each session. There are a variety of exercises which you can implement into your program that will help tone your stomach. The basic stomach crunch is the first and is where you lie on your back, it is best to use an ab roller for this which can be purchased at any sports outlet. Obviously if you are a member of a gym, they will have ab rollers or sit up benches to use. So lie back with your back flat on the floor and grip the ab roller with each arm, now using your stomach muscles raise your back off the ground to no more than 30 degrees; hold position for a second then return to your starting position.

Try to do this twenty times, take a minutes rest then repeat four times so that you total number of crunches is 80 (20 crunches x 4 with a minute break in between). Eventually after you have been doing stomach crunches for a month you should increase the amount so that you do 30 crunches four times. I found that after a couple of months I managed to do 300 stomach crunches and my stomach began to look and feel flatter. There are other exercise that you can incorporate into your fitness program however the standard stomach crunch has and always will be the most beneficial.
