Simple Cardio Exercises


If you would like to have a flat stomach you should do cardio exercises, there is no way around it. Cardio exercises raise your heart rate and boost your metabolism (for up to 24 hours! - after a good workout), but the most important benefit of cardio exercises is that they burn fat, unwanted stomach fat included.


Start doing cardio exercises for at least 40 minutes to an hour a day 3-6 times a week. If you are a beginner, start a slower pace and slowly increase your workout time.


Be sure to switch from exercise to exercise if you need to keep yourself from getting bored and your body from getting used to one activity.


Sample cardio exercise that you can try right now:

1. Start by jogging 5 minutes to warm up.

2. Sprint for 2 minutes

3. Slow down to a comfortable jogging pace for 5 minutes

4. Sprint for 2 minutes

5. Go back to jogging for 5 minutes

Repeat as many times as you can and don't forget to cool down in the end.


Lose those pounds!
