If you want to lose fat on the belly, here is a list of helpful exercises. We all know that this is one of the problem zones where fat appears quick – so we *really* need some ways to lose that fat as quickly again.
The most important thing here is that we focus on the calories burning exercises which in return will burn off the fat. There is no point in doing the wrong exercises like muscle building or strength exercises if we have a layer of fat on the belly.
We first need to get rid of the fat and then we can focus on muscle building exercises later on.
As always, combine those exercises also with a proper and healthy diet for maximum effectiveness!
Cardio Training
Cardio is a premium choice to lose belly fat. You will burn the fat with running and sprint training, jumping, rowing and high resistance elliptical machine workouts. You will see better results the more intensive the workout. The overall calorie burn is what counts when we want to lose belly fat, this is why it is so important.
Sit Ups
Sit ups are very easy to do and a good way to lose weight, but you must follow the sit-up regimen with a 15 min walk to be most effective. Sit Ups alone won't do much otherwise. The exception is if you do
Weighted Sit-Ups
because they are more effective and burn far more calories than regular sit-ups. Simply because the added weight increases the intensity of the exercise and thus will burn off more fat in the same time.
Raise your Legs
This is another very good belly fat exercise. If you raise your legs you can literally feel the exercise in your belly muscles and you can feel how the muscles are starting to burn off those pounds. Combine the leg raise exercise with sit ups for maximum effect on your whole stomach so it targets the upper as well as lower stomach!
Sucking in your Stomach
Sucking in your stomach (also called stomach vacuums). Stand upright and suck your stomach in as hard as you can. As with sit ups and leg raising this is an exercise very specific to your belly and therefore very effective for our cause of getting rid of belly fat.
All of those above exercises you should do on a frequent basis. Feel free to combine them. Do not overdo it, but do the exercises frequently and regularly.
This list of exercises to lose belly fat should be a good start. They are not hard to do at all and you can do them almost anywhere without a problem.

Hi Yolanda,
Its a good question and one we are often asked – hopefully you picked up a few tips from the article above? What we’ve seen work is a combination of diet, exercise and cleansing.
Often people get the diet and exercise bit right but forget to cleanse and some people have a lot of toxins and impurities which can cause weight issues – it might be worth trying this is you’ve tried everything else?
Also exercises that specifically work the stomach area are great, but nothing beats cardio exercise to burn fat, there are also ways to naturally increase your metabolism so you increase the speed at which the body naturally burns fat – so you need a mixture of everything.
But don’t reduce your calories too low – your body will stop burning fat and may actually hold on to extra fat, which means you won’t be able to lose your belly fat.
Good luck and let us know how you get on,
The Team @ LoseWeightFit.com
