Burn Belly Fat Without Devoting 8 Hours Per Week to Exercise

If you're like me, you don't have 6-8 hours a week to devote to working out unless you're training for the Olympics. In that case, exercise would be your full time job. However, if you're like the rest of us, you're probably juggling work, family, outside commitments and attempting to lose that belly fat, too.

I'm sure you've asked, "How do I burn fat and lose my belly without killing myself?" What works for most people and not the tri-athlete is quite different. There is a big difference between what folks can actually accomplish, and what is recommended in fitness magazines. A lot of times, 90 minutes a day set aside for doing a workout is just not manageable.

Most people usually trying to lose belly fat lead hectic, stressful lives where they can only squeeze in exercise as an afterthought. Intentions are good, but life intrudes.

With that said, here are some quick tips which will allow you to burn fat and live the rest of your life while doing it. How does 45 minutes, three times a week sound? Probably much more doable.

The warm-up is where you start and very important to avoid injury from stiff muscles. You'll only take about 5 minutes to warm-up then move on. Bodyweight exercises like strength training supersets that build muscle is how you go next.

Avoid the treadmill, stair climber and other equipment designed for low cardio unless you have extra time. Why? Because walking on the treadmill only prepares you to continue walking on the treadmill. Stair-climbers are the same. Walking and stair climbing is great, but it does nothing for burning belly fat.

Move on the strength training supersets with minimal resting in between. This only last 20 minutes and the exercises will be both basic and easy to master. Depending on how much muscle building you want to accomplish, you can either increase or simply do the minimum requirements.

Finally, there will be 18 minutes of interval training. So, in 3/4 of an hour, you will be able to get in a warm-up, six short interval trainings at the level you can tolerate with short periods of low intensity recovery. Finish up with a cool-down and that's a total of 45 minutes.
