Losing belly fat through exercise is not as easy as people make it seem. The truth is, your body will lose fat from every place you do not want, first. It is very difficult to lose fat in the ‘hard to reach areas,’ such as love handles, hips, buttocks, and the belly.

High intensity exercise is known to reduce body fat percentage, thereby constituting a more targeted fat loss program. Compound movement sequences in an exercise program, as well as proper flexibility and strength requirements with each exercise, dramatically improve results with fat loss programs.

Body weight resistance exercise will help almost ninety-percent of clients achieve the results they are seeking in the gym. Many people are focused on lifting heavy weights for better results, but this is not necessary.

Heavy weight lifting, several times per week, is not necessary for most people’s goals. Most people come to personal trainers with the intention of losing fat, decreasing body weight, and improving stamina. In order to this effectively, I cannot think of a better way than forcing the body to be able to resist its own weight through dynamic and challenging movements. Some of my favorite body weight exercises include the burpee, squat thrust, pull up, plank, push up superset, and reverse lunge.

For the most part, each one of these exercises targets the entire body, rather than isolated segments of the body, thereby dramatically increasing metabolic demand, and improving fat loss results.
