The main reason most people go to the gym is to lose weight and get a better figure. In this age of instant junk food and quick, delicious (and calorie-loaded) fast food, big tummies have become a scourge of the times. A majority of those that have taken-on a regular work-out regimen have done so because they’ve waged a war against belly fat and are focused on one goal- burning it.

In spite of the information age, not a lot of people are aware of the fact that the technique in burning belly fat isn’t the use of ab exercise gizmos or fat burning ointments or pills. They still get duped into shelling-out their hard-earned money not knowing that taking-on a workout that burns the most body fat in less time will do it.

There is no single machine, supplement or exercise that would be a good belly fat burner. A combination of three things are needed- aerobic exercise that burns the most calories from body fat, weight training to build muscle and increase metabolism, and a healthy diet and eating habits.

We all know that the foods we eat are stored by the body as energy in the form of fat. As humans, our stored energy is concentrated in our gut and if we don’t expend the same amount of energy we consume from food, this results in an unsightly belly and love handles. Experts say that any prolonged aerobic exercise that keeps your heart rate at a ‘low-moderate’ level (60%-70% of your maximum heart rate) is best for burning stored fat. It burns the most calories from fat rather than from glycogen stores.

Variety in your workout regimen can also help. Switching to a different exercise routine once in a while will also prevent your muscles from hitting a ‘plateau’. Keeping your muscles challenged means more energy spent ergo more belly fat burn.
