The 3 Best Exercises for Fat Loss


If you're trying to lose stomach fat, good nutrition is going to be key. But the right workout, packed with the right exercises, can help you burn fat and build lean muscle as well—which will help you burn more calories when you're not at the gym.


Things that can help:


If you're running, start sprinting. Just 12 minutes of work can do the same for your body as 10 hours of slower cardio work.


In the gym, the best exercises for fat loss use the most muscles—squats work literally hundreds at once. Add them to your routine, and try variations of them. For more fat-torching moves, focus on your total body, as well as multi-joint movements—like the split squat.


However, it's not just the exercises you do—as how you do them. To maximize your calorie burn during your gym workout, set up a circuit, moving from exercise to exercise with little rest. You'll be done faster, keep your heart rate humming, and burn pounds of unwanted fat.
