The #1 Exercise To Lose Belly Fat (FOR GOOD)

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2

How to lose belly fat is one of the most common questions out there. And that s understandable. Belly fat is really easy to gain and notoriously hard to lose. It can seem as though no matter what exercises you try to lose belly fat and no matter how well you eat, the belly fat just won t budge. And unfortunately, with exception to surgery, there is currently no proven method of being able to spot reduce fat from the belly. There is an exercise, however, that is incredibly underutilized yet powerfully effective when it comes to losing even the most stubborn belly fat. Today I ll share what that is and how you can start using it right away to lose belly fat. Why is belly fat is so hard to lose in the first place? Well, it comes down to the fact that certain areas of your body are easier to lose fat than others, and is largely determined by genetics. Now having your genetics stacked against you may seem problematic if you re looking to develop a slim or lean looking abdomen, but there is a solution. As long as you create a calorie deficit, you will continue to lose fat. Eventually, if maintained long enough, you will lose excess fat from all areas of your body, even if your genetics put your belly fat at the back of the line. While diet should be your main way of creating a calorie deficit, adding additional exercises could help you to lose belly fat by keeping your metabolism high, even as you re losing weight from dieting. That said, not all exercises are created equal. While things like running, rowing, cycling, or even HIIT workouts tend to burn calories very quickly, the truth is, the overwhelming majority of people can t actually stick with traditional cardio long enough for fat loss to reach stubborn areas. And it s not that these methods don t work if you stick to it, because they do. The problem is simply that they re brutal. They require a lot of willpower. Now don t get me wrong, these forms of cardio definitely do have their place and some people have no problem sticking to them. In fact, I still do these intense sessions once or twice a week for conditioning. But I no longer rely on them as my main form of cardio to lose fat and nor should most people. Because if you want to lose your stubborn belly fat, and more importantly keep it off once it s gone, then you need something you can stick to for life. What s the solution? The best exercise to lose belly fat is walking. It s the easiest to maintain, lowest stress, lowest fatigue, and most versatile form of cardio. According to research, intense forms of cardio like HIIT or running, while time efficient, didn t provide any superior fat loss effect when compared to longer yet less intense forms of cardio such as walking. Which makes sense. It s simply a numbers game. Your body doesn t care whether the calories you burned were from some crazy intense fasted cardio session or from plain old walking. What matters most is what you can do consistently over time. And if you crunch the numbers, you ll actually find that the calories burned from simply walking can very quickly add up to a meaningful amount. So now that I ve hopefully convinced you of the power of walking, let s dive into the specifics of how to lose belly fat from walking. The first step is to determine an average of how many steps you re currently taking. You can use the health app on your iPhone or use Google Fit if you re on Android. After a week, see what your daily average comes up to. Some of you however might be surprised with how few steps you re taking, but this is a good thing, as it means you have a big opportunity to bump that up. Set a realistic goal and first aim to do an extra 2, 000 steps a day. Given that the average individual takes about 1, 200 steps during 10 minutes of walking, all you have to do is throw in two 10 minutes walks into your day to accomplish that. Once you re consistent with that, try bumping it up by another 2, 000 steps, and continue doing this with the goal of consistently getting at least 8, 000 steps or even up to 15, 000 steps, which seems to be the range that provides the greatest fat loss and health benefits. Trust me, the little things add up. Apply these tips and you ll be surprised with just how much they increase your step count and even more surprised by how much of a difference it makes towards your fat loss overtime. That said guys, I want to emphasize that walking or any form of cardio is only effective for fat loss if it s used in combination with a diet. So use your diet as the primary way to create a calorie deficit and supplement it with walking to help speed up the process.

Hi Jeremy. Another Great Video. This absolutely explains something my wife and I discovered several years ago. We usually take a 10 day beach vacation every year. And everyday we would take 1 to 1-1/2 hour long walks on the beach and most days we walk 2 times. And even though we feel like we are eating and drinking way more than at home, we always arrive back home about 6 - 8 pounds lighter for me and 4-5 pounds for my wife. And we both look fitter. I was convinced that on our recent trip in March (which was the first in 2years) I had gained 3-5 pounds but only to discover back home, once again, I had lost 6 pounds. Thanks for all your great video's.

About the number of steps, because i am in internship and i must go home every noon, it ads a lot of steps (around 2500 to go and comeback every morning and afternoon. Just to go and comeback from this, it's around 10 or 11 000 a day, which is really great. But i also need to go to the gym and just do everything else. My average amount of steps in a day is around 16 000, so around 11km per day. You absolutely do not need to do as much, 7 000 to 10 000 is already perfect for health and cardio. Just find your goal, something you can be consistent with and add some steps every day or week. Do whats healthy for you

I started walking again when I broke my finger on left hand two months ago. Since gym was out the question I decided to eat less and start counting my steps. I started 8000 steps as my goal and increased each week until I reached 15000 steps per day. Usually if I could I'd go for a walk after I just eaten. And yeah, I lost some weight. Now I am back to gym + walking and my daily steps are +20k now. So I had to increase calories since I started to lose weight too quickly for my comfort. But yeah, walking is worth it and good for many other reasons.

Ab workouts are never the waste but if you want some proper gains, or fat losses which are more important for gaining abs, you should follow some structured and personalized diet plan! I got mine from site Next Level Diet, but there are many more great options online (especially if you are lazy like me and hate counting calories and macros. I lost 5lbs of fat in my first month, but I have just started

The human body is very good at holding onto fat reserves. Not only that but it becomes more efficient at movement patterns as you train them so doing a certain cardio for 1 hour might burn 200 calories now but doing the same cardio in 3 months time might only burn 150. Not only that but your body might proportion more muscle than you might like as a fuel source.

I got 11K steps/day on average and I ain t even trying. However, I can neither drive nor ride a bike as I prefer walking so that s probably how it adds up. I like jogging, but it s true that, when times are stressful, i become inconsistent. Maybe going for more walks could result in 15K/day and that could help me lose some fat.

I started walking home from work instead of taking a bus, about 2 months ago. It takes about 40 minutes to complete the way. What I could see is that I started to lose fat even without making great sacrifices on eating. It was easy to introduce into my routine, and without exhausting me from the effort.

I am on 11. 8% body fat, however my abs baaarely show due to genetical fat placement. As around my abdomen, I have 5. 2kgs worth of fat.
I dont wanna keep cutting as I muscle growth will barely occur. Anybody has any tips? I think I need to be around 10. 5% body fat in order for my abs to be visible

This also demonstrates that diet is really the key to losing fat. It is likely easier for most to cut 300 calories per day than to do 300 calories worth of extra exercise.
I do agree walking is a great way to get in exercise though. I actual enjoy going for walks unlike doing heavy cardio.

My belly has never been particularly large, it s mostly a beer belly. But the most effective thing I ve done for it is not eat after 9pm. I used to be serial late night snacker (really bad for you taking undigested calories to bed) and as soon as I cut that out I really slimmed my belly down
