This means small bursts like intervals for cardio and weight training that incorporates the entire body and gets the heart pumping a bit too but isn’t too heavy. We design these programs for women all the time.

6. Avoid alcohol
Alcohol is high in calories and can contribute to belly fat.
*ALSO, really watch the foods that go in while drinking Alcohol as they tend to be high in cals and add to the waistline.
Think of it this way: 1 glass of wine ~150 cals, 12 hot wings ~ 1200 cals!!
7. Try intensity 2x Per Week
If you can safely try some intervals or harder cardio sessions, this can really target the belly fat! That being said, twice a week with at least 48-72 hours between sessions of only 15-20 mins would be good. And work up to this, don’t start with it. We can show you how to do this safely if need be.
In conclusion, losing belly fat takes time and dedication. Incorporating a balanced diet, specific exercise, stress redux and some sleep can help you achieve your weight loss goals. Remember to monitor your progress and stay motivated on your journey to a healthier you.
