Belly Fat Exercises

     Belly fat. Don't you just love to hate it?

Belly fat just sits there mocking you. It makes you buy bigger pants and bigger shirts.

Belly fat makes you feel self-conscious when at the swimming pool or beach.

Belly fat jiggles when you walk, run, laugh, or move too quickly.

Belly fat is horrible!

So what are some belly fat exercises? What can you do from an exercise standpoint to get rid of all that belly fat?

Do belly fat exercises include lots of crunches, sit-ups, leg lifts, or some fancy (cheap) gadget found on an infomercial?

Do belly fat exercises make you work your "core" for 30 minutes a day?

The answer to both of those questions are "no". Belly fat exercises do not require endless amounts of crunches, or sit-ups and you especially don't have to waste your money on some abs gadget off a TV infomercial.

Belly fat exercises entail working your whole body.

They do because you cannot spot reduce. You cannot get rid of belly fat just by doing a crunch. Even if you do 1000 crunches.

You need to work lots of muscle, which means you need to do full body abs exercises and full body workouts to really get rid of belly fat.

Some of my all-time favorite belly fat exercises include the following:

Planks

Stability Ball Jack-Knifes

Spiderman Push-ups

Renegade Rows

Wood Chops

Cross Body Chops

Mountain Climbers

Cross Body Mountain Climbers

All of those belly fat exercises work more than just your abs. Some of them work your chest, your back, your legs, low back and shoulders.

Those belly fat exercises not only help you get rid of ugly belly fat, they also make your abs/core strong, which means you will have better posture.

If you have better posture, your stomach instantly shrinks and you'll feel a heck of a lot better.

Let me throw those belly fat exercises into a quick workout for you that you can try at home.

Perform this workout as a circuit, moving from one exercise to the next with no rest. Rest for 45-60 seconds after the final exercise and repeat the circuit a couple more times.

1A) Push-up - 10 reps

1B) Wood Chops - 15 reps

1C) Stability Ball Jack Knifes - 15 reps

1D) Cross Body Chops - 10 reps each direction

You could add those belly fat exercises in that order to the beginning or end of your regular workout. It all depends on you and your preference. Some people like to do those belly fat exercises at the beginning of their workout, when they're fresh and full of energy, others like to wait till the end when they're more fatigued and can really feel their abs get worked.

It doesn't matter when you do those belly fat exercises, just do them, in addition to a full body fat burning workout and you will have less belly fat within weeks...I guarantee it.
