Most people are now carrying their weight in their mid section. This is bad for 2 reason. First of all android obesity (belly fat) puts you at a higher risk for heart disease and second it looks terrible. Knowing the right way to lose fat is key to getting a great body in shortest amount of time possible.

Don’t be fooled by some bogus fat burning pill. You can’t get a ripped body by using ab contraptions or other diet pills. You need to listen to certified trainers that will give you good advice.

There are many workouts that are more affective than cardio. In fact I would not count cardio as the number one way to get a six pack. You need to tackle the weight loss issue from both the nutrition side and fitness side. Doing crunches alone will not get you the flat six pack stomach that you want but it will help.

Lets look at some exercises to lose belly fat:

First you need to focus on the lower abs because they are the hardest to develop. A great exercise for the lower stomach are leg lifts. Lay on the ground and put your hands under your butt. Keep legs straight while raising your legs up until they are straight up and down. At this time you will lift your butt off the ground while your legs and toes go towards the ceiling. Bring the butt back down and then let the legs slowly go back down. Don’t let your feet touch the floor but allow them to come with an inch or two from the ground.

Next you need to focus on the obliques (the sides of the stomach). Sit on the ground and lean back so that your torso is at a 45 degree angle with the ground. Now put your hands together and rotate from side to side touching the ground on either side of you.

These are 2 great exercises to lose belly fat but there are many more exercises you can do.
