Burn Stomach Fat With Interval Training (Part 1)

Isn’t it confusing…?

Often what seems logical to work in one situation turns out to be totally wrong and the key to success turns out to be something counterintuitive, that is at the same time much simpler. Here’s the moral of the story:

“Work less. Achieve more.” But how…?

You may be surprised to know that the same “reverse” principle also applies to effective workouts for losing stomach fat…

Burn Stomach Fat With Interval Training

You might think that doing endless rounds of crunches is what’s going to help you lose that extra belly fat, but it’s not just the belly… you need to burn fat off your whole body.

By training just the stomach muscles, you won’t make the actual stomach fat disappear.

So, what’s the secret to losing belly fat?

The secret to burning fat is increasing your body metabolism through specific training routines that will make your body burn fat, even while you rest and sleep.

This type of training is called “Interval Training”.

It is ideal for losing stomach fat.

How does it work?

You increase the intensity of your exercise sessions (in a specific pattern, explained below) and at the same time you shorten the duration of your entire exercise session to just ca. 20 min a day, 3-4 times a week. That’s all you need.

This system will increase your body’s fat burning function enormously (while requiring less workout time).

Compared to regular cardio, interval-training can be harder during short intensity bursts (usually lasting not longer than 60 seconds), while inbetween it’s actually easier than regular exercise. Thus, this type of training requires less time to complete, is rarely boring and brings better results faster.

Here’s a breakdown of a regular interval training workout session.

Begin by warming up first for about 5 minutes. Warm-up any way you like, through some light activity like traditional aerobics movements, some biking or running outside. Keep it simple.

Next you begin your first workout interval.

Exercise with high intensity for about 60 seconds and after that slow down considerably for about 60-120 seconds.

This cycle is called an interval.

You should repeat the same interval 3-6 times in a row, followed by a cool down period.

For your intervals you can choose almost any length you like, spreading from 5 seconds to 5 minutes.

For best fat loss results, 30-60 seconds of high-intensity workout followed by 60-120 seconds of cool-down is recommended.
