Overview

• Effective belly fat loss combines healthy nutrition choices with regular endurance training and focused abdominal exercises.
• Beginners should start with three 30-minute workouts per week, adding five minutes each week until reaching 60 minutes per session.
• Trainers warn against common errors such as using momentum, repeating the same moves, training abs daily without rest and neglecting diet.
• Five core exercises—weighted oblique side bends, Russian twists, wood chops, gym ball rollouts and knee raises—offer targeted core engagement.
• Major reductions require patience since one kilogram of fat equals about 9,000 calories, and cutting visceral fat lowers risks of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and dementia.
