Cardio Workouts To Burn Belly Fat

Can you imagine the day that this doesn't happen?

You look in the mirror there it is: that layer of excess belly fat that has accumulated as a result of too much of the wrong foods and not doing the right exercise to lose that excess belly fat.

But you spend at least 90 minutes 5-6 times a week on a Treadmill, bike or elliptical? Right?

And still there it is,

What if I can show you an exercise system that is scientifically proven to lose your belly fat faster but in shorter more efficient workouts.

Scientific research shows that 20 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training (HITT) is better than 40 minutes of cardio when it comes to losing your belly fat.

What is High Intensity Interval Training?

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is cardio performed at a high intensity level so that your body will spend the rest of the day burning energy and (belly fat) to recover from the intense workout.

You will be burning up to nine times more body fat while sitting on the couch later that night than you would have if you'd spent an hour on the treadmill at a moderate pace.

Make no mistake this is intense training. You will need to push yourself and really challenge yourself. If you are willing to do this, you will in less time lose your belly fat and drop your overall body fat.

But you can alter your workouts to your own conditioning level if the true high intensity workouts are too much.

How High Intensity Interval Training Will Benefit You

It’s at least 200% more efficient, if not more. You can get the same or better fitness and fat loss improvements in half the time.

It builds real-world fitness. How many times each week do you do a 20-second stair climb? Compare that to how many times you run 30 minutes continuously (not including training)? Exactly.

Interval training builds anaerobic and aerobic fitness. Lose your belly fat AND gain lean muscle.

Increased cardio capacity.

Interval training causes a boost in your metabolism by using much more energy.

And when your body uses more energy, it means, that you are burning more calories and losing that belly fat.

There are a few different ways to do Interval training. First a true High Intensity Interval Training Workout using Sprints.

Warm up at a comfortable intensity for 5 minutes. Then, give your maximum effort for 15 to 30 seconds, followed by a 2-minute recovery. You can walk during the recovery or you can just take it down to a very light jog, depending on your current level of fitness. More than likely, though, you will be going so hard that you will need to walk during the recovery. Perform between 6 and 10 of these intervals, and finish with a cooldown.

Here is a list of preferred ways to do your Interval Training

Sprinting outdoors (and hills might be the absolute best)
Strongman movements (Farmer’s walks, tire flips, car pushing)
Bodyweight interval circuits
Treadmill running
Barbell and/or Dumbell Circuits
Kettlebell circuits
