Get Rid Of Belly Fat By Creating An AfterBurn From Exercise

If you are one of the thousands wanting to get rid of belly fat and you have tried diets and exercise, then the missing ingredient may be a simple shift in your exercise routine. This is the information based on research over the past decade on how to maximize calorie burn with exercise.

Belly fat is a tricky type of fat because it first develops deep in the abdomen where it can build and crowd organs before it is even seen as a belly getting too big. This makes fat at the waist dangerous because the crowding of organs can lead to a higher risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.

So how do you get rid of belly fat? The answer is similar for any type of fat, the good news is that when you workout efficiently, fat around your midsection will often be the first to go.

Let me start with the "old school" thoughts on burning fat and calories. It used to be the accepted theory that in order to burn fat you needed to eat a sensible diet and then workout for an hour a day. In fact, you will still see this advice floating around.

The obvious problem with this method was that only a select few could spare an entire hour each and every day to slave away on the treadmill. The other problem was that this slow and steady exercise did not deliver great weight loss benefits and as soon as the exercise stopped, so did the calorie burn.

The "new school" method to burning more calories is to perform exercises that vary in intensity and move you between states of low and high heart rates. This method has been shown in researched studies to burn up to 10 times more fat in one-third or less time.

How is this possible? The answer is in the "afterburn". What happens with the new school, varied intensity exercise programs is that the metabolism comes into play and this metabolic boost continues long after the workout ends - an "afterburn" if you will.

When done correctly this afterburn can account for more calories burned over the next 24 to 36 hours. So while you are sitting on the couch at the end of the day, your body is STILL burning calories at a higher rate from your belly and all over thanks to your earlier 20 minute workout.
