The question is always asked "In order to lose my belly, what is the most efficient way?" Aerobics, strength training, cardio, or intervals?
It would be an understatement to say I have tried them all.
Using laboratory research and training for at least 15 years both for myself and sports I can tell you what exercises work and what don't.
Time. Do you have it? For those of you who can't spend 90 minutes per day exercising I want to talk to you.
Exercise magazines portray that we need 90 minutes to exercise. People don't have that and disconnect.
You don't need 6-8 hours/week to exercise. Maybe if your goal is a triathlon you do. But for those of us trying to lose and tone there is still hope.
Having said all that, the bottom line for getting a better body is...
Your best results will be through warming up with your own body-weight. Use strength training for muscle buildup. And use interval training to finish up and burn fat fast. This system is structured for you to workout 3 times/week and be in and out of the gym in 45 minutes.
You'll do 5 minutes of bodyweight exercises to warm-up. This is a much more efficient approach than spending 5 minutes walking on a treadmill, which really doesn't prepare you for anything except more walking on a treadmill.
The next 20 minutes are going to be spent with strength training supersets. Use two exercises back to back with minimum rest in the middle. For this you will use basic exrcises and depending on your goal for muscle building possibly add more bodyweight exercises.
And finally, we'll do 18 minutes of interval training. A warm-up, followed by six short intervals at the appropriate fitness level for the client, interspersed with short periods of low-intensity recovery. Finish with a cool-down. And that's the workout. Again, about 45 minutes total.
Most people run, cycle or ride a cardio machine for 45 min. straight which will burn calories. But won't get you that six pack.
In fact, long slow cardio has a downside. We already know results are different. But overusing muscle groups leads to injuries and it is an inefficient form of exercise. When are you going to build your muscles and sculpt that beautiful body if you are on a cardio machine for 30-45 min straight?
The best way to burn belly fat is fast and fun and it works using a combination of strength training and interval training
