The Ten Best Exercises To Reduce Belly Fat

The best exercises to reduce belly fat do not actually focus on the belly

. What? That is right. That is because you cannot actually limit fat reduction to the belly. Think about it. Can you specifically reduce the fat on your leg or your arm? No. So forget about sit ups and crunches and all those other exercises you have been doing and you see people doing. They just do not work.

The reason they do not work in reducing fat is because they, quite simply, do not burn enough calories. They do not cause your body to go through a wide enough range of motion and they do not cause you to exert yourself to as great an extent as your body needs to be to burn calories.

So what is the best way to reduce body fat if we can spot reduce belly fat? You might be surprised to learn that it is weight lifting. Yes, I know you were thinking it would be running long distances. But, no. when you run long distances you burn more calories than when you lift weights, this is true. However, when you build more muscle you burn more fat over a longer period of time than it would take you to run a few miles.

If you do the proper types of exercises weight lifting will help you in other ways as well. You see a lot of people spend time in the gym isolating muscle groups like the biceps or the pectorals. However, if you do compound exercises which work multiple muscle groups at the same time you cause your body to go through a metabolic change which will allow you to burn more calories for a couple of days after.

So here are the ten best exercises to reduce belly fat in no particular order.

1.The squat.

2.The dead lift.

3.The clean and jerk.

4.The single armed dumbbell snatch.

5.The military press.

6.Burpees.

7.The Kettlebell swing.

8.Renegade rows.

9.Lunges.

10.Box Jumps.

Now, the way I want you to perform these exercises is in a high intensity interval training format. Remember when I said you can burn more calories when you run long distances than when you lift weights? Well, that is not necessarily true. If you lift weights in an HIIT format you actually turn weight lifting into a cardiovascular exercise and you will burn more calories during the exercise than if you ran at a steady pace for the same amount of time.

High intensity interval training is simply performing one exercise with maximum effort before moving to another exercise after a short period of rest. Perform the exercises in a circuit and complete as many circuits as possible. If you use this exercise format doing the exercises above you will reduce belly fat much more quickly than doing anything else.
