You have been
eating right and exercising for a while, but that stubborn belly fat just will
not budge! Along with incorporating foods that fight fat into your diet, here
are some ways to burn that pooch away while you are out on a run.
Switch
up Your Pace
Intervals are
proven to reduce belly fat and rev up metabolism; instead of running at the same
pace for the entire workout, try alternating between periods of pushing your
body to the max and periods of recovery. Here is a list of interval workouts
for you to try:
§ 45-minute
fat-burning treadmill workout
§ 300-calorie-burning
walking-jogging workout
§ 30-minute pyramid
intervals
§ Swimming interval
workout
§ 45-minute
walk-run-sprint workout
§ 45-minute
elliptical interval workout
Go
a Little Longer
Unfortunately you
cannot spot treat when it comes to weight loss, which is one reason solely
doing crunches will not whittle your waistline. The key is to decrease overall
body fat, and the one way to do that is to burn calories. Lengthening your
workout will do just that. Every five minutes of running at a
10-minute-per-mile pace burns about 45 calories. Think about that on your next
run, and it will motivate you to keep going!
High
Knees
You are working
hard to diminish your overall body weight, which will slim down your belly so
you can reveal toned abs underneath. Here is one way to strengthen your core.
Do one-minute intervals in which you run with high knees (like in this cardio
workout you can do in your living room). Concentrate on using your abs rather
than your leg muscles to kick your knees up as high as you can.
Try
This Killer Treadmill Move
Here is another
core killer if you are using a treadmill. Set the pace to 1.0 mph. Place your
feet on a Ploy Box that's set up about two feet behind the back of the
treadmill. Come into plank position with your hands straddling the treadmill
belt. Step your hands on the belt and start walking, keeping your torso in one
straight line. Do this for one minute, pulling your belly in toward your spine.
