Belly Fat Burning Exercises

The following exercises are low impact, home based belly fat burning exercises. No special equipment is needed and they can be performed in the comfort of your own home. The exercises are both, challenging and exciting and are meant to help you strengthen your abdominal area as well has help you burn fat.

There are two sections to the belly fat burning exercises. The first section are exercise to help your develop and strengthen your mid-section using targeted, low impact exercises. The belly fat burning exercises are meant for the beginner and intermediate but can also be used in circuit sequence for the more advanced trainer.

The second section are low impact cardio belly fat burning exercises to help you lose belly fat. These exercises have been designed as home based movements and no special equipment is needed.  These exercises are safe to perform and there are no jumping, skipping or hoping exercises to perform. As with the abdominal strength exercise for a flat belly, these cardio based belly fat burning exercises have been designed for the beginner and intermediate trainer.  Although the exercises can be combined for superset, tri set or circuit set type workouts for the more advanced trainer.

If you’re just starting out I suggest staring nice and easy. Pick two to three exercises belly fat burning exercises and do 1 to 2 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions to start. Perform those exercises twice a week spaced two to three days apart. Abs are pretty sensitive so take it easy for the first couple of weeks. After performing those exercises a few weeks try adding a few more sets and repetitions to each exercise until your abs are enough to handle more exercises. 

Each section comes with exercise photos, instructions and demonstration videos that will allow you to see how the exercise are performed.

If you are a beginner, I suggest studying and practice the movements before adding them into your routine to ensure that the exercises are right for you.
