Lose The Muffin Top With These 2 Exericses


by Yuri Elkaim


Very often, the top movements to lose belly fat are Not the ones that involve small ab movements.

Go figure, right? !

The reason behind this is that waist exercises are simply too tiny a movement to burn any significant calories.

So while millions of well-intended individuals continue to do sit-ups and crunches in pursuit of burning belly fat, I want to save you the effort.

The 1st reason that I do not recommend making sit-ups a part of your belly fat loss program, apart from the undeniable fact that they do not burn belly fat, is that impose a large amount of stress on your lumbar region.

Every time you perform a sit-up you are essentially wedging the cushioning discs between your bones. Over time , this can lead to serious lower back issues, especially if you haven't a powerful core foundation.

Sit-ups are bad for your back and they don't burn stomach fat. So what are you intended to do?

Here's the secret sauce - my best exercises to lose belly fat.

Target using full body exercises that engage plenty of muscle. When you do this you inevitably force more muscle to do the work. And when greater amounts of muscle are recruited a greater need for oxygen and calories.

Understanding this is the basis for any fat loss program.

Here are 2 of my favourite and best exercises to lose belly fat:

Push Presses "In a standing position, holding dumbbells at your shoulders, sit your bum back and drop your bodyweight onto your heels (as if doing a regular squat) as you lower down as if about to sit on a chair. Do your best to ensure that you only lower to the point whereby your thighs are parallel to the floor and that your upper body stays tall through the whole motion.

Now, push your feet into the floor to return to a standing position and use that leg thrust to drive the load above your head. Lower and repeat. Aim for 2-3 sets of only 7-9 repetitions using heavier dumbbells which limit you to only lift for the mandatory number of reps.

Burpies "Who is not keen on burpies, right? Customarily, the exercises that are most exhausting and uncomfortable are the best ones for us. This is not an exception.

To do a burpie start from a standing position, then to the floor and perform a push-up. At the top of the push-up, jump your feet in to your chest and jump up off the floor as high as practical. Rinse and repeat. Attempt to do as many possible reps as you can in 30 seconds, and do 2-3 sets.

These are just 2 sneak peaks of some of my all time favourite exercises to lose belly fat. They can most often outperform small ab exercises if your goal is to get rid of fat.

However , you should always remember that when shedding fat is the goal your diet will be the most significant part of your journey. But when you have both the ultimate exercises to lose belly fat and a healthy diet in order, you'll be sure to succeed!
