Understanding Belly Fat

Belly fat is not just a minor inconvenience that causes your clothing to feel tight. It’s harmful. This type of body fat, also commonly known as visceral fat, is a major risk factor for type 2 Diabetes, heart disease, and other conditions.

Reducing belly fat can have significant benefits for your health and well-being.

How to Reduce Belly Fat?

Firstly, let’s make one thing clear. Spot Reduction of fat is a myth.

This means that if you are trying to lose fat from one particular part of your body, say abdomen, arms, chin, thighs, etc – and so doing only specific exercises for that region, you need to reconsider your exercise plan.

Only a comprehensive exercise plan targeted at reducing fat mass and gaining muscle mass eventually ends up with the achievement of belly reduction or other body fat reduction.

Not just that, losing belly fat requires more than just exercises; it’s about a holistic approach combining diet, lifestyle changes, and targeted physical activities. Burning more calories than you consume and boosting your metabolism is key.

Now, let’s have a look at the 15 best exercises to reduce belly fat, each carefully picked to target this stubborn area.

Unsure about which exercises are right for you or how to perform them safely? Fitterfly’s 1-on-1 online physiotherapy consultation can help. Our experts provide personalized guidance to ensure you target stubborn areas like belly fat effectively and without injury. Fill out the form below to get started.
