With the increasing obesity in this country it is a given that taking care of your body is something overlooked. There are many factors that play a large role in why we neglect to keep ourselves in shape, stress, work, time, motivation, energy. If you would for a moment take a few minutes of your day to do a small amount of cardiovascular training and eat more appropriately all of the factors that lead to obesity would disappear.
Exercise is a self-perpetuated activity for most, you force yourself to do it at the onset, and afterwards realizing the motivation comes from the endorphin rush and euphoric feelings that come from it.
The very best way to lose belly fat and increase your energy levels is to re-evaluate and change your diet. It is always recommended that you see a nutritionist, however if this isn't possible for whatever reason here are some tips to help you help yourself. Find out what your BMI is, and what it should be, BMI meaning Body Mass Index is the amount of mass you should be given your height and body type. If you are above your BMI, figure out how much weight you will need to lose to attain optimal health.
Once you've layered this out, take a week to observe your diet. At this point do not change anything, simply observe. Most people find themselves eating unhealthy because they don't take the time to think about what they are eating, they choose the most carbohydrate filled, easy to make/buy food. Take the time to understand your own eating habits, and question yourself as to why you are choosing these foods. The following week, make a few changes in your diet - add more raw fruits, vegetables, and legumes. You can continue your previous eating habits - just change a few things here and there.
On the third week, choose a time to begin performing a sort of cardiovascular exercise, be it walking, jogging, elliptical, biking, whatever tickles your fancy. The goal is to start burning calories. Continue your old eating habits, replacing some things with raw fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Continue this motion of change over as long as you need to adapt your habits - adding more exercise, eating healthier. Over time you'll find that those days you miss a workout - you literally feel like you were missing out.
