The Best Exercise to Lose Belly Fat

Is there really such a thing as “the best exercise to lose belly fat“? Or is it all just a myth? Well, let’s find out…

In the following video, fitness expert Ashleigh Gass demonstrates a good exercise for belly fat:

As Ashleigh explains in this video (and yes, I agree, she really is fit isn’t she, in every sense of the word), losing belly fat is not just about doing a certain exercise. No, in order to lose stubborn belly fat is to use the demonstrated exercise in combination with good nutrition and overall strength training. It is also important to consider our abdominal posture, to ensure we are not pushing our abdominal area out further than we should be, which will give us the appearance of having a fatter belly than we would otherwise have. To correct this, bring your belly button in, and gently tuck your bum under.

Anyway, about the exercise. For anyone who, for whatever reason, is unable to watch the video above, here is how to do the exercise:

1. Sit on the floor in a full sit-up position, with the knees bent and the arms straight out in front of you.
2. Low yourself down slowly, keeping your back straight and your arms out in front of you.
3. Sit back up again.

This belly fat reduction exercise can be done every morning. For beginners, start with maybe 3 or 4 repetitions of the exercise, and if you’re more advanced try to do between 15 and 25 repetitions of the exercise.
