Are you trying to lose that pesky belly fat? I’m sure you’ve heard that crunches and crunches are the way to do it, because those exercises make use of the abdominal muscles. However, while it is absolutely true that abs will strengthen your abdominal muscles and make you stronger in that area, and you may look slimmer because your improved muscles retain fat better, this does not actually reduce abdominal fat itself. herself.
To get a complete and lasting solution on how to lose belly fat, we must look at how the body works and how it is able to lose weight. The simple fact is that if you are going to lose weight, from any part of your body, you need to exercise regularly. The fact that the most obvious and visible area of excess fat on your body is your belly does not alter this fact. When you don’t exercise enough, or overeat for a long period of time, one of the areas that naturally shows this excess more than others is the belly. Similarly, if you start exercising and lose weight, it will disappear faster from the same belly area. Therefore, no “special abdominal exercise” is necessary, just healthy exercise!
In addition to exercise, diet plays a key role in losing or gaining weight. You can exercise, but you will still find that you are gaining weight if you are eating very poorly or in large quantities. Therefore, both exercise and diet are required to get the full effect. You need to adjust your diet to burn more calories than you consume, at this point you begin to “burn” the calories stored as fat in your body. Obviously, changing your diet to reduce the amount of calories you eat helps, as does reducing the actual amounts of food you eat if you’ve been eating excess amounts.
The key to losing belly fat is pretty simple, and there really is no secret or special program: exercise and eat less (and eat right). So the two key action points are to cut the calories you eat first, with smaller amounts of food or foods with fewer calories. Second, every day you do some physical exercise. Do this and you WILL LOSE that belly fat!
