The best exercises to burn accumulated fat in the stomach
Stomach fat is formed when the accumulation of excess fat is stored in the body. To get rid of that stubborn stomach fat, you usually need to exercise and diet.
A low fat, high fiber diet is a very effective way to reduce stomach fat. Reducing the consumption of sugars and saturated fats helps a lot to burn stomach fat and is an excellent tool for weight loss. Drinking plenty of water not only helps you lose weight, but it’s also great for your skin.
Cardiovascular exercises are excellent for burning fat that is stored in the stomach. Cardiovascular exercises include high-impact aerobics, stationary bicycling, elliptical exercises, brisk walking, jogging, swimming, biking, and jumping rope. Cardiovascular exercises increase heart rate and metabolism; increasing metabolism burns body fat, including stomach fat, faster. Weight loss, in general, usually results in the burning of that fat stored in the stomach.
Oblique exercises target the muscles on the sides of the stomach and are one of the best exercises for reducing fat deposits. Oblique exercises are also one of the best workout routines to trim and tone your midsection. The muscle group found on the sides of the torso near the waist should be strengthened; this allows the torso to rotate and the muscles to tighten over time. The modified crunch, side bridge, and rotation are some oblique exercises.
The modified crunch begins by lying on your back with your hands behind your head and your elbows on the floor. Then you bend your knees and drop them to the right side. Slowly bend your upper body in the direction of your knees until both shoulders are off the ground. Pause for a count of two, then return your shoulders to the floor. Perform five to ten repetitions, lower your knees to the left, and repeat the procedure.
The side bridge is an abdominal exercise that helps get rid of love handles while strengthening the abdominal muscles. You lie on your side, supporting your entire body on one foot and one arm, while keeping the rest of your body straight.
Abdominal exercises, including crunches and leg raises, target where stomach fat forms and are helpful in reducing stomach fat. Abdominal exercises should be done at least 3-5 times a week and should be included in your exercise routine.
Interval training is a combination of slow and fast exercises. One way to incorporate interval training into an exercise routine is to burn more calories while walking. For example, if you’re going to walk for an hour, start with a 10-15 minute warm-up. After that, every five minutes you could add something that would strengthen your legs, then your arms, then your core. This type of interval training could include jumping jacks, weight walking, and/or brisk walking. You will burn more calories by raising your heart rate. Burning more calories is one way to get rid of stomach fat as well.
Don’t give up and feel like you’re stuck with that stored stomach fat! There are many exercises that will help you on your quest to burn that fat, feel better, and look better.
