These are the 8 best things you should do after a workout to help you lose belly fat. Not only is the time you spend during you workout important for reducing the size of your waist but there are certain things you can do afterwards that can assist with recovery, muscle growth, and accelerate fat loss. Watch this video to discover these 8 proven post workout tips. FREE 6 Week Shred: FREE Diet/Workout Planner Tool: Imagine finishing your last set and seeing what’s happening under your skin. Blood is driving into the muscle. Microscopic tears covering the muscles you trained. Free fatty acids leaving your fat cells and drifting through your bloodstream looking for somewhere to go. If you could animate it, you’d watch the decision get made right there: do those fatty acids get burned, or do they boomerang back into storage when appetite spikes and you decide to have Cheetos instead of a healthy meal Most people think the workout is the whole story. It isn’t. The hours after is where your body chooses whether it keeps pulling from stored fat, or whether it hands your progress right back. To start, before you leave the gym, finish with a short high-intensity finisher. This isn’t a second workout it’s a 510 minute burst of effort that uses large muscle groups and gets your heart rate up quickly. Think sled pushes, kettlebell swings, jump squats, medicine ball slams, or a quick bodyweight circuit like push-ups, mountain climbers, and plyo lunges. The goal isn’t to exhaust yourself but to squeeze in a little extra calorie burn and metabolic stress while your body is already drained of glycogen, and ready to tap into burning some fat. Research on HIIT shows it can improve both aerobic and anaerobic fitness, increase insulin sensitivity, and boost calorie expenditure after exercise through excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, also known as EPOC. But don’t overthink about this magical overhyped afterburn effect the bigger win is that you’re adding more total work in less time. For someone trying to lose belly fat, that can be the difference between maintaining a deficit and erasing it. And because this comes after your main workout, your muscles are already warm and firing, which reduces injury risk, and helps maximize performance. Keep it short, intense, and intentional, and it won’t interfere with your recovery. A simple way to set this up is to perform an exercise that's really challenging for your heart like burpees, or kettlebell long cycles, for a minute on, then 30 seconds off, back and forth for 15 minutes. Right after that, grab your notebook or phone and write down exactly what you just did. I’m talking about the weight you lifted, the number of sets, the number of reps, and maybe even a quick note about how you felt. This is the foundation of progressive overload which is the gradual increase of stress placed on your muscles over time and it’s one of the most proven ways to build muscle. So why does this matter for losing belly fat Well, because muscle tissue is metabolically active. The more lean mass you carry, the more calories you burn at rest, and the better your body handles carbs and blood sugar. There’s also a behavioral reason that tracking works. Without data, you’re guessing and guessing often leads to doing the same weights, the same reps, the same sets week after week. Meanwhile, changing any one of those would have changed your body. That’s being stuck in maintenance, not progress. Studies have shown that lifters who keep detailed records make noticeably greater strength and size gains than those who don’t. And when you’re stronger and carrying more muscle, you burn more calories during the day without even trying, which really is the key. Think of your training log as a map it tells you where you’ve been, where you are, and where you need to go next to keep belly fat moving in the right direction, which is. off of your body. So write down at least your sets, reps, and the weight loads you used before you leave the gym and forget. The third thing is to plan your first meal after your workout to be a healthy one. The old anabolic window myth says you have to slam a shake within 30 minutes or your workout is wasted but in reality, muscle protein synthesis stays elevated for hours after training, and as long as you hit your daily protein and calorie goals, you’ll recover even if you're having that meal later in the day. But here’s why the content of your next meal still matters for fat loss: workouts eespecially intense ones, are very likely to crank up your appetite. If you don’t have something healthy lined up, you’re much more likely to grab what’s convenient and convenience often means calorie-dense, low in protein, highly processed food, usually with extra sugar added. Instead, aim for a balanced plate: protein to support recovery and satiety, vegetables for micronutrients and fiber, and high-quality carbs

I work hard in the gym I see results, no need to keep track. I’m not being arrogant but I just go in the gym and push myself every time to the point where I’m shaking on the last rep. The walking isn’t necessary since I’m literally moving and walking for 15 hours straight a day at work. I’ve noticed with the amount of work I do in and out of the gym I’ve been looking leaner and more muscular, hard work is everything and in time it pays off.

For anybody thinking about doing the 6 week shred, stop thinking about it and just do it. It's 100% worth it. I did it and went over the required loss by 2-3 lbs. It's hard work 100%, but if you stick to it, you'll get the results you're after.
