So, you want to lose belly fat - exercise is an important piece of the puzzle, however, it is not the complete puzzle. That involves both diet and exercise. For the purpose of this article, I will be discussing the exercise portion of the puzzle.
To lose that unsightly belly fat, you need to lower your overall body fat percentage. Working just your abs will NOT burn the fat over your belly. The proper way to lower your body fat percentage involves starting a weight training and cardiovascular fat loss program.
Why weight training, you ask? Well, studies have shown that a person's metabolism is raised for much longer after weight training than after doing traditional, slow cardio. Shocked? I was when I found out. The reason is that when you are doing weight and strength training, you are breaking down muscle. And as your body repairs the muscle, making it bigger and stronger, your body burns calories. This is how and why your metabolism stays raised for up to 48 hours after your workout.
Now, you may also be wondering why I'm telling you to do any cardio at all, if it seems to be so unhelpful. Well, doing long, slow, steady, boring cardio is not helpful, however, this is not what I had in mind. You need to start interval training.
Warm up at 50% for 2 minutes. Then go at 90% for 30 seconds. Slow back down to 50% for 1:30, then go back to 90% for 30 seconds. Complete this cycle 6 to 8 times. This is the best way to lose belly fat - exercise, along with a good diet.
