Best Way To Lose Belly Fat | Cardio A Waste Of Time

How to lose belly fat is a question that I get more common than any other question. This is for a good reason. Fat loss often starts and stops with our abs, our core, our lower belly and once that is lean we know we have reached our goal. This can also be the toughest part of fat loss. Todays question is around the idea that cardio is a waste of time for fat loss.

We must understand two things when it comes to losing body fat. First we must understand how fat is lost and we must also understand how long it will take. For many the frustration sets in once we have lost some weight but see no change in the belly fat or lower abdomen.

The #1 Exercise to lose belly fat (for good) is not a setup, a leg raise or any muscle building movement. Losing belly fat requires an exercise that we can perform with consistency, which allows us to recover, does not cause us to over eat and keeps fat loss moving.

How much cardio should we be doing to lose belly fat, that is not the right question.

What is the perfect diet for losing belly fat, there is no perfect diet for everyone.

Let me explain the best way to lose belly fat and that cardio can be a waste of time if you are doing it wrong!

I started going to the gym and using the stair master. At first I only lasted less than 3 mins before I was gasping for air 😅. Just yesterday I was able to reach 30 mins and reach 1500 steps. After my breakup from my wife of 5 years, exercising has been one of the few things that has helped me deal with it. Guys push your body and I guarantee you will feel 100x better. Stay strong everyone 💪

I lost all my body fat by changing my diet. No carbs, no sugar. One meal a day. The weight fell off. I walked about an hour a day. I am not ripped, but no fat.

I've been lifting since the 80s. And I still remember the owner of my gym saying the absolute best exercise for losing weight was to work your triceps... by PUSHING YOURSELF AWAY FROM THE DINNER TABLE. And believe it or not this old exercise still works.

I don't do cardio for weight loss, I do it for heart health.

Nothing beats a daily thirty minute brisk walk. It changed my physique

You could have made this video for private people only and earn more than posting these videos free on youtube but you didn't. Simply shows what kind of person you are and we appreciate and respect you for that. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

That great proponent of getting ripped, Clarence Bass said years ago that brisk walking is a pure fat burning exercise. And this was way back in 1980. He’s now 86 and still going strong!

I've been doing the stair master for 6 months now (eating healthier too) and went from 263 down to 190 🎉

This is so inspiring. I walk very little during the day because i work from home, but this morning i got up and walked 6000 steps, then jumped in the pool to cool off and refresh. Qhat a great way to start the morning! Thanks Paul!

I started at 238 in May and am at 218 now in July. All I have done is cut out sugar and salt, eat a high protein low carb low fat diet of 1200-1400 calories, and walked 15K steps a day average. I have had a few cheat days and handful of days off the wagon here and there, but the important thing is to get back on track and keep going.

My job for over 40 years requires me to walk a minimum of 5 miles a day, 5 days a week and I take 7 flights of stairs (my choice) on a daily basis for 8 hours. Walking didn't do anything for my fat weight loss. I eat about 1, 800 to 2, 000 calories a day. It wasn't until I rode my bicycle outside of an average speed of 16 MPH/26KPH. for 8 miles every day for about 30 minutes for 3 months during the summer that the body fat finally came off. I'm 59 and 6'1" and was around 216 down to 192 and feel great.

I was at 415lbs, now at 315lbs. Lost 100lbs just weightlifting and eating healthy but the weight is now starting to come off at a slower rate. Going to implement walking. Thank you for the tip and I will keep you posted on my results :)

I've been measuring my portions strictly and that has kept me on the right track week after week hitting my goals. Just putting that out there in case it may help anyone. Measuring portions and eating mostly the same things is my sustainable path. I have my go-to foods, and then a few alternatives. It works. That and quitting alcohol.

You are spot on. Period. People need to hear this. Not to mention grinding knee joints, hip femoral and sacral joint wear.

I love the walks, the incline walks, the rucks, and the resistance training! I had no clue how well it would all work until I turned 50, better late than never!

[zachdelkus]

Appreciate your advice. I picked up a treadmill for free and began working out in the morning. Mentally, it was such a victory completing the hardest part of my day by 6am. I’m down 40 lbs. I have about 19 more to go. My biggest issue is that my weekends have turned into cheat days. I have to go all in.

I put a TV in the room where my treadmill is and made a promise to myself that I’d only watch the show I was watching if I was on the treadmill. It motivated me.

I’m 55, been walking between 11000 to 17000 steps a day for the last month. I generally do two short walks during the day and a long walk in the evening. Weight loss was 6 lbs! 215 >209 lbs . The weight really does come off from the bottom up then top down to the middle. Music is a must! Barefoot shoes are great too. Some super easy ways I ratchet up my walks. Pass a tennis ball between your hands from behind your lower back to a point in front of and above your head ( much like a butterfly swim stroke). Walking backwards will thoroughly burn your quads and strengthen your knees and ankles. Balancing on small retaining walls along the way will help you tighten your core because you will learn quickly that you need to keep your upper body quiet to keep your balance. Cross stepping sideways on part of your walk will work your hip flexors and glutes.

I started walking 5-7 miles every other day and lifting 2 days per week as well as eating right in may. I weighed in at 320lbs 6’4”. I have lost 36 pounds and gained 3lbs of muscle mass so far. For the most part I try to cross train, walk and just make better decisions eating, mostly protein and fruits along with a lot of pecans and a spoon full of coconut oil every morning and evening before bed. Thanks for sharing this video and good luck to all that are this life changing path.
