By Wendy Stanton


We shall soon be showing off or hiding our bodies when swimsuit season rolls around and the following types of exercises will ensure that you show off the kind of stomach many will envy. If you are tired of simply exercising and hoping that the workouts will give you the physique and stomach that you can be proud of but you are just not seeing any results, stop and instead start doing the following 3 types of exercises to get rid of stomach fat quickly.

In order to get rid of stomach fat fast, you should do all three kinds of these exercises. While you may lose belly fat by picking one or two of these exercises, you will only be able to get the best and fastest results, by performing all three.

Exercises To Get Rid of Stomach Fat Fast

1. Cardio

Cardio is the best way to get your body to burn calories and lose the layer of fat that covers the stomach muscles. The more calories you burn, the more belly fat you shall lose. You may be able to perform all the abdominal tightening exercises but you will not notice much difference until you include cardio exercises to first get rid of this layer of fat that covers the stomach muscles.

Interval training is very important in order to get the most out of cardio exercises and to help to eliminate your fat stomach. The interval method is much more beneficial than simply performing cardio at a steady pace.

The interval method is best for blasting away belly fat because it increases the intensity of the cardio exercises periodically. You first start with a steady pace for about 90 seconds and then increase the intensity or speed to the fastest pace you can tolerate for 30 seconds. This makes up one interval. Repeat 5 to 6 times at least three times per week.

To perform intervals you can use a treadmill, an elliptical, a bike, swimming, etc. You can also alternate between walking and running. You will burn 25 to 75 percent more calories at high intensity than you would at low intensity. Definitely try to get out of your comfort zone when interval training.

2. Strength Training

Strength training with weights or resistance bands will help to build muscle and as a bonus, it will boost your metabolism which will burn even more calories and fat including after a workout. This is why strength training is so important when you are trying to get rid of belly fat.

Strength training has so many other benefits besides helping to shape a better body and stomach such as improving your balance, helping you sleep better as well as helping to minimize all the cottage cheese and dimples on your thighs, hips and buttocks. Strength training will also increase your stamina and help to reduce your risk of developing certain conditions such as type 2 diabetes.

If you are a woman, do not think that using weights or heavy weights will cause you to bulk up. Rest assured that women just do not have the hormones that will allow them to bulk up. Strength training using the right weights will instead allow you to get leaner and stronger in the quickest time possible.

3. Core Exercises

To create an envy worthy stomach, you also need to perform core exercises which will help to shape a defined stomach. Working out is pointless if you are not also strengthening the core muscle group and the abdominal muscles are an important aspect of the core muscle group which supports the entire body.

Some of the best core exercises to get rid of stomach fat and create six pack abs include the bicycle, the plank, crunches, etc.
