Burning belly fat is not all crunches and cardio - though,
those will help. If you are looking to burn that stubborn excess fat, you need
to look at the whole picture. That means looking at your diet, how to prepare
your body before a workout, and even your mental health.
Next, we've compiled a list of 7 easy and effective ways to
get rid of excess belly fat ranging from getting the most out of your workout,
right up to the clock in the correct amount of zzz. It is always important to
keep in mind that getting healthy is a combination of a balanced diet and
exercise.
1. Be in constant motion
Cardio will help you focus the fat on your belly, and almost
anywhere else. Prevention says that if you focus on anything that will increase
your heart rate, such as running, cycling or swimming, you are sure to burn
that fat right away.
2. Stretching before exercise ab
Do not simply jump on your abdominal exercises next time.
Cosmopolitan explains that if you do not limber, your body will rely more on
your hips and re-do ab workouts instead of targeting the muscles you want.
3. Get enough sleep
WebMD highlighted a study that showed that people who slept
6-7 hours a night gained less visceral fat over a 5-year period compared to
people who slept less than 5 hours and more than 8 a night.
4. Do not miss protein
Prevention experts say that a diet rich in protein can
protect against insulin resistance, which is good, because as you age your body
begins to produce more insulin, resulting in more belly fat. But getting protein
does not mean that you
have to stack the meat on your plate. Add protein powder to
your smoothies, and eat more nuts.
5. Keep stress levels low.
Everyone has to deal with stress in one way or another, but
WebMD explains that's how to deal with it that will keep you healthy.
Concentrate on relaxing with your friends and family, try to meditate and give
yourself some exercise to get rid of some of that bad energy. When you feel
less stressed you are bound to make better decisions around.
6. Do you want some vinegar?
Prevention highlighted a Japanese study that said people who
consumed a tablespoon or two of vinegar daily for 8 weeks showed a decrease in
body fat. Experts say that acid in vinegar could produce proteins that burn
fat. Incorporate vinegar into your salad
7. Drink enough water
Belly fat could leave you feeling puffy - but if you are
looking to shed that fat Cosmopolitan notes how important it is to stay
hydrated. The magazine says that drinking the 8 recommended glasses of water a
day will keep your metabolic rate under control, and help your body function
better - so your workouts will be more effective.
