Exercises to target belly fat loss

WOW! I thought all this was to help out others and instead its all negativity about the one who posted the topic. Glad I dont have any of you on my friends list. I think it was an awesome topic and I understand wheres shes coming from but looks like everyone read into it way to much and turned it all around. People shouldnt comment if all you have to say is negative stuff.

Exactly

Disagreeing with someone doesn't mean it's negative or intended to hurt the OP. And many of the responses were 100%. You can NOT target body fat and only a constant calorie deficit will help you achieve abs. While it's easy to read out of context when someone says, I know you can't spot reduce but.... You have to understand where we are all coming from.


Also have you ever heard... "I don't mean to insult you but.... " Isn't it always an insult that follows it?

To tighten abs --- planking.
To lose belly fat --- diet

This.

No. It was straightforward. There was nothing to read into or "turn around".

Bull. A lot of people on here have holier - than - thou attitudes , and they come off as just plain rude.

Like you, for instance

That is so ridiculous...care to explain?

I have that same problem area and haven't tried this yet, so I don't know if it works. I just finished listening to the presentation from the link at the top of this page to "5 Foods never to Eat." It is an advertisement for an eating program, but it has some very good advise with the scientific explanation behind why it works. They say that you shouldn't eat things like muffins, whole wheat bread, orange juice, pasta, some cereals, etc. because they turn into sugar when they are digested. They said to stay away from all processed foods and stick to one ingredient foods, like steak, chicken, sweet potatoes (but they did say add a little butter and cinnamon to it), fruits, vegetables, breads made with sprouted grain or rice, nuts, rice, etc. They also said something about eating fats is not all bad, either, you just have to choose the right fats, like olive oil, eggs, nuts, etc., and they will actually help you lose fat. I can't repeat exactly why they said it works, but they said that if you choose the right foods, stop counting calories, eat enough of these foods to keep you from being hungry (as long as you don't go overboard), you will actually lose fat. I'm going to try it and will let you know if it works. I also watched a Dr. Oz segment about taking 100 mg of raspberry ketones, and it somehow tricks your body into thinking it is thin and increases your metabolism and decreases your fat. Again, I don't know if it works, but I am going to try it along with eating good foods and exercising, which is what he recommends. It isn't a miracle pill and should be taken with good diet and exercise. I know you asked for exercises, but I think with good diet and exercise in general, you should lose inches over your entire body. I hope so anyway!

"I know you can't spot reduce (i.e. I know you can't target a location for fat loss) but what exercises target belly fat loss (it's in the thread title)"

"You can't, eat right and exercise"

"Why do people have to turn around what you say and be such a**es about everything"

"ummmmmm"

.???

Definitely try HIIT (high intensity interval training), noticed a difference in my body fat when I upped the intensity of my cardio.

Do 1 minute at high intensity, then recover for the second minute. Repeat for 50 minutes.

So, you're going to give up counting calories (while using a site that promotes counting calories) in order to take the advice of an advertisement you happened to click on?

Not trying to be mean, but I'm not sure that's going to work out so well for you.

To everyone who is saying I contradict myself, obviously you're not actually reading into my question. I know there's no such thing as spot reducing! Like I stated diet is the main key. So tell me when my diet is good and I have a crappy workout routine, am I suppose to see result? No! I'm simply asking what kinds of exercises are out there that have helped others and are good for burning calories and amp up cardio.

Thanks

You aren't getting the answer you are looking for because your first post does say that you are looking for exercises that target belly fat. FACT.

Now since you are looking for good calorie burners...mountain climbers, burpees, jumping jacks....to name a few...running, walking, swimming...I mean seriously...what are you into, what activities do you enjoy? Hiking, climbing, racing....There are no limits!

Okay first off I KNOW there's no such thing as spot reduction! I know there's no exercise to specifically burn belly fat and that diet is the main issue to lose belly fat along with cardio. That's not what I'm asking. I wanna know different exercises that are known, or you do, that are effective for burning fat? What exercises burn more calories to help burn lower belly fat? (Burpees are more effective than curls...I wanna know exercises not diet)


*******there I changed the wording if this makes more sense*********

As you stated diet is the primary belly burner. Also , workouts that keep your heart rate in the fat burning zone like HITT routines will increase your body's desire to burn fuel.
