Learn How To Lose Belly Fat With Simple, Effective Exercises

by Lisa Sequera

"Losing the weight." So many of us have that as a goal. We write it down as a New Year's resolution, we mutter it as we swim laps, we frown and turn away from beloved treats muttering, "No, sorry, I'm dieting."

We look in the mirror at our spreading waistlines and wish with all our hearts we knew how to lose belly fat. We try diets, we try pills, we try exercises to lose belly fat...and as often as not we fail.

There are many reasons we fail, not all of them understood even now. But failure to lose weight is not your fault. The main sources of information we use do not tell us how to lose belly fat: they tell us how to yo-yo diet. It's true! Science indicates that the major forms of dieting may allow you to lose weight for a short period of time, but that you are then likely to regain the weight and more...leading to a new diet, a new attempt.

And so many methods are just false: take spot exercises to lose belly fat and only belly fat, as though you could point to your body and suggest "burn only calories from here"! Weight loss does not work that way. Never has, never will.

The only way to lose weight -- the only way to learn how to lose belly fat -- is to use information that allows you to turn your body into a calorie burning machine. If you can convince your body to burn calories faster than you take them in, burn them day and night, burn them as though they were there to waste (which they are -- that is why you are on a diet!) then and only then can you hope to lose that weight and keep it off. You need to turn your body into an ally, not an enemy.

How? Well, there are programs that can help, but you can start with three simple techniques. While you can't spot exercise (those articles about specific exercises to lose belly fat, or hip fat, or fat from your thighs do not work), you can exercise to burn all fat.

One basic rule of weight loss is that muscle tissue burns fat faster than the rest of your body: the more muscle you develop the faster the fat leaves. Therefore you need to exercise to increase muscle mass as well as improve cardio measurements. Cardio exercise is not intended to create new muscle, nor to burn calories wastefully. It is efficient and makes the most conservative use of your muscles, not the least. Therefore body building exercise combined with cardio allows you to maximize your results.

Spot exercises do not lose belly fat. However appropriate spot exercises can provide a firm base and allow you to carry the fat you have more elegantly, while building still more muscle. However the old sit-up crunches are not as useful as modern abdominal circuits, including kneeling leg-lifts and wall-braced push ups, which strengthen both the back and the belly muscles.

Last, you can commit to daily motion...not just to build muscle, but to use and maintain the muscle you have built. Remember, muscle tissue burns fat faster than non-muscle tissue. You aren't going to be able to burn calories efficiently if you are not growing and maintaining solid muscle.

These techniques, combined with a stable regimen based on knowledge of metabolism's laws, can help you achieve your goals. Not to learn "how to burn belly fat," but how to turn your body into a calorie-engine racing along at high speeds, burning that fat for you.
