What exercise burns the most belly fat?

What exercise burns the most belly fat?

When people think about weight loss, they are often concerned about how they can get rid of troublesome belly fat.  Maintaining a healthy BMI is an important factor of good health, that has multiple health benefits; including reducing your risk of heart disease, as well as giving your self confidence a boost! 

But the big question is, what exercises burn the most belly fat? Below are five of the best exercises to lose weight fast!

  • Burpee
    The burpee is a great exercise for your belly fat, as it targets so many different muscles from your head to your toes. It basically involves going from a push-up position up to a jump, and then back down to a push-up; which is 1 rep. An exercise that is particularly explosive and fast paced, the burpee is one of the best exercises to lose weight fast around your stomach, as it targets your core, working several different muscle groups for an increased calorie burn.
  • Kettlebell Swing
    The kettlebell swing is one of the best exercises around for generally burning calories, and is a great way to lose belly fat. A kettlebell is a cast iron or cast steel ball with a handle attached to the top. It's used to perform many types of exercises, including cardio, strength and flexibility training. This exercise will raise your heart rate straight away, and will engage big fat burning muscle groups like your hips, quads and glutes, while also working your core. To do it, simply hold a kettlebell at an arms length between your legs, squat down, and swing it forward up to around shoulder height, then reverse the movement back to between your legs.
  • Mountain Climber
    You can think of this exercise as almost a kind of moving plank; which targets your core and ramps up your heart rate by performing several quick mini crunches. To perform it, take up a pushup position and lift your right foot off the floor, driving your right knee towards your chest, before returning to the starting position. Alternate with each rep.
  • Medicine Ball Slams
    Medicine ball slams are a simple yet dynamic exercise that can help you shed belly fat effectively. A medicine ball or exercise ball is a weighted ball roughly the diameter of the shoulders, often used for rehabilitation and strength training. You simply hold the medicine ball above your head and slam it down; catching and repeating. By picking up the pace and throwing the ball with more power, you can seriously work your core and elevate your heart rate; and you don’t even need to increase the weight as long as you push yourself harder each time, making them a simple and convenient step to burning belly fat effectively.
  • HIIT
    Short for High Intensity Interval Training, HIIT exercises are the most effective way of burning calories through exercise. With a 10 minute warm up, you can use the previous four exercises in a routine of 30 second reps to work all your muscle groups, alternating between the different ones to aid recovery, boost intensity and keep your body guessing!

 

And these are just some of the best exercises for burning belly fat and maintaining a healthy BMI. For a general look into your overall health, you can take our handy Are you Living Well? quiz to see how you compare to the national average.

How does this work?

The tailored approach LiveWell Dorset uses to come up with solutions to the things that are stopping us achieving our goals, is based upon work done by University College London developing the COM-B model of behaviour change. In this model, all behaviour is influenced by understanding a person’s capability to change, their opportunity to change and their motivation to change. By understanding which of these is the biggest barrier to change, we can tailor support accordingly. This model of behaviour change is at the centre of the support we offer, online and in person.
