3 Easy Tips For Reducing Stomach Fat

Reducing stomach fat can be a very hard thing to do depending on what approach you take. If you take the approach of going to the gym everyday than more than likely you will fail. Think about it, who want's to be at the gym everyday? Becoming a gym rat is not the answer for developing a flat stomach. There are better things to do than being at the gym everyday.

Tip #1- Super-sets

Develop A Workout That Delivers Fast Results In Minimal Time

You might be wondering what kind of workout delivers fast results in a short period of time. When it comes to burning belly fat you would be surprised as to what super-sets can do. Super-sets are two exercises done back to back without rest. A good workout is usually done with three super-sets of two exercises each. If you want to see fast results, especially in the stomach area, then pair up the sets with a lower body and an upper body exercise. For example, in super-set number one you could have...

1A) Dumbbell Squat- 8 reps
2A) Dumbbell Incline Chest Press- 10 reps

This is an example of a good fat burning set. For maximum results you should come up with 3 super-sets per workout.

Tip #2- Interval Training

Develop A Cardio Workout That Burns Fat Long After Your Workout Is Over

Wouldn't it be great to still be burning calories for up to 24 hours after your workout?! Interval training can do this for you. What is interval training? In a nutshell, it is a fast burst of energy performed for a short period of time followed by a long period of rest. For example, run at a moderately fast pace for 30 seconds then jog or walk for 1 and a half minutes. This equals one interval. To have a good fat burning workout it is advised to do 4-6 intervals. More than this is not required and in most cases should not be performed.

Tip #3- Nutrition

Develop Eating Habits That Will Speed Up Fat Loss

This is the most important tip to follow. It is said that 20 percent of fat loss comes from your workouts and 80 percent comes from eating healthy. Nutrition is always the biggest turn off for most people. Food is by far one of the most enjoyable things in life. We can have cookouts, pizza, burgers, Chinese food, Italian food, all kinds of food that are very fun to eat. There is nothing wrong with enjoying these foods, after all, you only live once! But when you indulge yourself in these type of foods your lifespan actually decreases. Once in a while it is o.k to have them. Like I said, life should be enjoyable!

Most of your diet should be made up of lean proteins, healthy carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables. By making wiser food choices you will see faster results and you will surely feel a lot healthier. A good diet is always guaranteed to give you more energy throughout the day and during your workouts!
