    The best way to burn fat is to do cardio.

    Cardio can be brisk walking, running, swimming, cycling, dancing, using the machines at the gym (elliptical, stair master, treadmill, stationary or spin bike). That's just to give you some ideas to start with.

    If you pair it with strength training, you get a two-fer as strength training builds muscle so any excess calories go to that and not to fat stores. Also, muscles are more metabolically active so having more raises your metabolism allowing you to burn more fat.
