Burn Belly Fat – Find the Best Weight Loss Workouts!

For decades scientists and people on the street, have been trying to determine which type of method is the best workout for weight loss. While there may still be a fair bit of controversy surrounding the subject it is fair to say that two exercises have risen to the top of the pile in terms of how effective they have proven to be.

Here they are:

1) Interval Training.

For years it was thought that doing a continuous exercise for 30-40 minutes at a steady state was the most effective way to burn belly fat. However, recent studies have shown that this is not the case. In fact you burn much more belly fat burning and improve the cardiovascular system and increase the metabolic rate much more significantly with only a 20 minute interval training session. Interval training combines brief bursts of hard effort interspersed with gaps of recovery.


An interval training workout could be the following example: Jogging on the treadmill for three minutes at an easy pace to warm up, then increase speed tot a pace that is very hard (about 90% of maximum effort) and try to hold it for a minute. After one minute, reduce the pace to that of around 50% of your maximal effort level for another minute, then do another minute at the 90% effort.
Repeat this cycle for a period of 20 minutes. You will find this a very tough workout but the boost to your metabolism and health is well worth it.

2) The Squat

This is primarily a weight training exercise but as recent science has proven, weight training is very effective in aiding weight loss. Above all, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even at rest, as needed muscle to hold more energy than other types of tissue around the whole day. Secondly, weight training burns calories on its own but its big advantage is that it raises the body’s metabolic rate for hours after the workout, much more so that any aerobic exercise.

Why the squat? Squats are very strenuous on the body. They require a great effort from nearly all the muscles of the body. Your abs are used to maintain stability as are many of the muscles in the upper body, while the legs are obviously performing a very dynamic movement. The squat is so stressful that it causes stimulation of the body’s hormones for muscle building and weight loss like no other exercise.

In fact one of the best workouts for weight loss would be a twenty minute interval training session followed by a few sets of squats. This would be a really, really powerful combination. Now with your new knowledge go and burn some belly fat fast!
