The Best Exercise to
Lose Belly Fat

Exercise to Lose Belly Fat

'What is the best exercise to lose belly fat?' is probably the most common question asked by people who want to lose weight. The answer they expect is usually a particular type of abdominal exercise which can help them burn fat directly from this part of their body.

Unfortunately, 'spot reduction', losing body fat from a specific body part, is physically impossible. The body burns fat from all over the body rather than from specific areas. Of course, certain body parts may lose body fat slower than others but that results from genetic factors rather than the type of exercise performed.

For example, women tend to lose body fat slower from their lower body at a slower rate compared to their upper body. This has to do with the number of alpha and beta receptors on their fat cell membranes and has absolutely nothing to do with the type of exercise being performed.


Therefore, the best exercise to lose weight and belly fat is not an exercise to work the abdominal muscles. In fact, it hardly works the abdominal muscles at all!

So the question remains, 'What is the best exercise to lose belly fat?' The answer is: 'Walking!' Here's why...

1. It can be done by virtually everyone
2. It is a long-term, sustainable form of exercise
3. It can be done anywhere
4. It doesn't require expensive equipment
5. It can be done at any time

There are many forms of exercise that can burn more calories per unit of time than walking can but few forms of exercise can compare to walking when it comes to fulfilling all the above criteria. It really is the best exericse to lose belly fat fast!

Walking works by increasing the body's energy (calorie) expenditure, which makes it easier to create an energy deficit. Therefore, when it is combined with a suitable nutritional plan, the body will be encouraged to use stored body fat as a fuel. This means that belly fat can be used as a fuel source. The process of burning belly fat can be accelerated by using thermogenics, which are a group of supplements that boost the metabolic rate.
