Cardio – walking, swimming, jogging, cycling. In the gym here are 5: medicine ball slam, kettle bell swing, mountain climber, burpees and dumbbell overhead lunge

Let me start by telling you thst crunches and sit ups are not the awnser. First of all if you want to lose fat anywhere on your body you need to clean up your diet, no processed food or to much sugar, that include bread, pasta, high sugar drinks and fruits or any sweets. Fuel your breakfast with good proteins and for lunch have any sort of veggies/ salad with another protein. For dinner you can have carbs but the good kind: sweet potatoes, potatoes, yam, root vegetable or even wild rice, with veggies. Now back to exercises: any exercise targeting big and multiple muscle groups are key when trying to loose weight. With that i mean squat, deadlift, lat pull down, row, push up- those exercise target multiple muscles at the same time. Cardio is great aswell but can’t be done just by itself, since your energy system will become more and more efficient and will need less energy in form of fatburning. Key is to build up muscle thst even burns energy while you’re resting. The bigger the muscle group the bigger the energy they need to burn to restore and grow.

As a start, diet has helped in losing belly fat. Refined carbs and sugary stuff clings on to the belly. The lesser I have had of those and the more water I had, I have had less belly fat. Planks, Russian twists and a few yoga poses have helped me immensely

Any exercise really. The key is diet. Exercise is only half the battle. I have seen people lose significant body fat with minimal exercise. You can start by calculating how much calories you expend daily given your lifestyle and activities. There are online calculators that will calculate your daily caloric needs. Then, eat less than the suggested calories.

Actually, I don’t think that exercise is the best way to lose that fat; control what you eat, 5/6 times a day with good portions, eat healthy and you’ll see changes!

Here is the list of few exercises that will help to lose belly fat 1.Static plank 2. Burpees 3. Hill-toe 4. Military Jump 5. Sideway Crunches (I’d suggest not to do Crunches as they are against the natural position of spine) 6. Scissors 7.Dynamic Plank 8. Best and my favorite vertical leg lifts

Cardio burns the most calories. Stubborn flabbiness around the belly won’t be targeted and removed by an exercises but the under layer will become more toned.

Core exercises would help lose fat and tone muscle in the midsection. Sit ups or crunches are supposed to help too

U can target different muscle groups with different exercises but there’s no certain way to lose fat in a specific area the best exercises for weight loss are interval training making sure you have a mixture of weights and cardio. Weights and resistance exercises are very important for toning and tightening the abs which could help but best thing to lose belly fat is to cut out all or almost all added sugars.

As we have learned by many different types of programs and research, the best exercises are crunches and other exercises that affect the stomach muscles. No quick fixes as this is a problem area that really benefits from consistency. Diet really affect the success of losing belly fat.
