The question is always asked "In order to lose my belly, what is the most efficient way?" Aerobics, strength training, cardio, or intervals? It would be an understatement to say I have tried them all. I have spent, at least, 15 years of training in the gym, both for myself and sports and used laboratory research showing many exercises. I can tell you now what works best and what you should not spend time on. But first of all, I want to frame my responses. I'm going to talk about what works for people that have a limited amount of time to exercise, mostly because I expect your readers don't have 90 minutes per day to devote to a workout, unlike the typical audience of a fitness magazine. People read in magazines that we need to spend so much time on this and we disconnect. You don't need 6-8 hours/week to exercise. Maybe if your goal is a triathlon you do. But for those of us trying to lose and tone there is still hope. Therefore to get a better body, you need... Use bodyweight exercises to warm-up, strength training supersets to build muscle, and then finish your workout with interval training to burn fat in a short amount of time. I've structured my system so that you are in and out of the gym in 45 minutes, three times per week. Spend 5 minutes warming up with bodyweight exercise. If you spend 5 minutes on a treadmill it will only prepare you for more time on the treadmill. Using bodyweight will be much more efficient. Then we move into the strength training supersets, where we use two exercises performed back to back with minimum rest between each. This cuts our workout time, while still giving us maximum results. We only need 20 minutes for this, and we'll use basic exercises, and sometimes even more bodyweight exercises, depending on the client's goal for muscle building. And finally, we'll do 18 minutes of interval training. A warm-up, followed by six short intervals at the appropriate fitness level for the client, interspersed with short periods of low-intensity recovery. Finish with a cool-down. And that's the workout. Again, about 45 minutes total. Most people run, cycle or ride a cardio machine for 45 min. straight which will burn calories. But won't get you that six pack. The downside to long cardio includes injuries due to overuse of a muscle and it really is an inefficient way to exercise. If you only have 30-45 minutes to workout, when are you going to work the rest of your muscle groups and get that beautiful body you want if you are on 1 cardio machine for 45 minutes? So the best way to burn belly fat is with a combination of strength training and interval training. It's fast, it works, and it's fun!
