How can i lose my belly fat?

Every new year millions of people resolution to get rid of belly fat, but there effort to lose belly fat is always insufficient to get the desired result.Many fall in pray to myths like spot reduction and the specific muscle training, which are all bogus. Spot reduction never works. And only abs exercises also won't give you the desired results. They do strengthen the abs muscles but does not make it look thin. For that, you have to shake off the extra body weight. The key is to follow a strict exercise and diet regime. Few alterations in the lifestyle are also necessitated. Cardiovascular training should be done at moderate and high intensity which includes running, cycling, spot jogging, back- lift jogging, swimming etc. to lose and burn calories. Strength training is also required as they increase the lean body mass and increases the metabolic rate of the body in long term which also helps in losing weight. Diet must include fruits, veggies, low glycemic index products, low fat and sugar and increase the uptake of omega- 3 fatty acids. Lifestyle changes should include more physical activity, proper rest, sufficient sleep etc. Along with the cardiovascular and strength exercises, abs exercises should also be done simultaneously. Couple of exercises which are efficacious for the belly contours, starts with the basic crunches. Crunches can be performed in the various forms hands behind head, long arm and hands on chest. They target the upper and middle abs. Bicycle abs, reverse crunches, hip thrust with or without exercise; leg raises at varying angles make the lower abs workout. Horizontal planks, side planks and modified planks works on your core as well as abs muscles. In advanced stages, exercises on the bench, Swiss ball and on bosu ball can be performed.

Hi Olivia,
To prevent belly fat, best option is to stay active as much as possible. Try walking in frequent intervals in office and do household work by yourself.
