How Can I Get Rid Of My Belly Fat?

By Steve Roberts

You know that one of the biggest problems we have is trying to get rid of belly fat. There are two main types of belly fat. Around our internal organs is Visceral fat and this helps protect them. The other main fat is Subcutaneous fat. This is the jiggly stuff right under your skin and that is what you want to get rid of.

You need to know a few basic points first before you can understand how to get rid of your belly fat.

Abs exercises like crunches and sit-ups will tone up your stomach muscles but they are probably the least effective exercises for getting rid of belly fat.

Doing the same cardio workout two or three times a week isn't going to be enough to shift that stubborn fat. You will need to combine both cardiovascular exercise with resistance training. Combined, these will deliver greater results, faster.

All the fancy pills and tablets do not work and are a waste of money.

It pays to read the labels on the so called health foods. Do this and you will find that many of them are packed full of sugar and additives.

There are three main principles behind losing your belly fat and getting those six pack abs.

Firstly, you must start exercising. As I said before, doing hours of crunches will not provide you with great results. You will tone the muscles underneath, but your belly fat will still be there. In order to get rid of the fat on your belly, you need to burn up more calories than you are consuming. Remember, fat is unused energy. You will need to combine cardio with resistance training. This can include cycling, running, swimming, dancing playing sports etc. Combine with resistance exercise such as squats, lunges, light weight lifting, press-ups etc.

Next you will need to start eating the correct foods. Many people don't realize but the most effective weight loss results come from exercise combined with healthy eating. It can be complicated to know what to eat given the amount of information available to us, but a good rule to remember is eat fresh food in abundance and keep a simple note of what calories you are eating as you are trying to burn off more calories than you are consuming.

Try to organise an exercise routine and a healthy eating program around these principals. But remember beginning an exercise program and eating healthily is great but you need to be consistent. It needs to become a routine and not something you do when you have the spare time. Change your current schedule so that your new routine fits in easily and you will be less likely to skip it.

It really is important to your health and lifestyle to get fit and stay fit! As mentioned routine is important and you should look for a fitness program that you can easily fit into your lifestyle as this will help ensure that you get into that routine that could save your life. I wish you every success in getting fit and shedding that belly fat.
