If one of your goals is to reduce abdominal fat quickly, but you find it difficult to find free time in your schedule to achieve it, you have come to the right place.
We spoke to Jayne Gomez, personal trainer at Fyt , a leading personal training service that makes getting fit under the expert guidance of a certified fitness professional in person (or virtually) convenient and accessible for anyone.
Gomez gave us the scoop on a daily 10-minute workout you can do to reduce belly fat fast. After all, it’s so frustrating to have stubborn fat that just won’t go away.
“ In the 10+ years I’ve been in the fitness industry, I’ve found that the fastest way to get rid of belly fat is to be in a slight calorie deficit and do HIIT exercises ,” says Gomez.
“ If you want to level up and see results even faster, I would do the exercises first thing in the morning on an empty stomach .” For this type of training to be ultra-effective, Gomez says, you need to take short breaks and make sure your heart rate is elevated. Gomez recommends wearing a heart rate monitor so you can easily track it.
Now it’s time to get started. Check out Gomez’s 10-minute workout to reduce belly fat fast. ” You’re going to do the following four exercises in a ‘superset,’ meaning you’ll do one set of each, then take a 30-second break, and repeat ,” explains Gomez.
Exercise 1: High knees
First, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands in front of you.
Push off with your right leg to touch your right hand with your knee. Return to the starting position.
Do the same with the other leg.
Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions with each leg.
Exercise 2: Plank
Lie face down on the floor.
Position your arms so that your shoulders are directly over your elbows, with your wrists aligned with your elbows in a straight line (see image above). Contract your abdominal muscles and glutes (the muscles that form your buttocks) and hold the position for as long as you can. Gradually increase the time you hold the position. Rest for about a minute between repetitions. Do 3 sets of 30 seconds each.
Exercise 3: Mountain Climbers
For this exercise, you need to get into a high plank position.
Continue bringing your left knee towards your chest, then bring it back to the starting position and then do the same but with your right knee towards your chest, reproducing the appearance of a climbing movement.
Do 3 sets of 15 repetitions with each leg.
Exercise 4: Knee bends
First you need to start in the same position as a push-up.
Next, keep only your knees in contact with the floor as you press up, lifting your upper body.
Lower yourself back down to the starting position, that will be one rep.
Repeat 15 reps for 3 sets.
