How To Lose Lower Belly Fat Fast

Do you want to lose fat on your lower belly?  If so, you are not alone. Trying to burn lower belly fat rapidly can be difficult and frustrating, especially if you do not know what to do.
The following tips can help you lose your lower-belly fat fast:
  • Do abs exercises. Many workout trainers from all over the world suggest an “abs workout” at least twice a week. These exercises help get rid of lower belly fat and tone your midsection. Examples of exercises are sit ups, crunches and the use of an abs roller. Working on your lower abs, reverse crunches, leg raises, knee raises and full crunches may also reduce lower belly fat. Before doing a crunch, pull your navel towards your spine. Keep this throughout the movement. This activates the oblique muscles, and you gain maximum benefit for the crunches.
  • Eat healthy and frequently. Grapefruits, red apples, fish and lean meats, green vegetables, cottage cheese, yogurts and whole wheat breads help burn belly fat. These foods help increase the metabolism rate of your body. Metabolism is important in losing belly fat.
  • Do cardiovascular exercises. These exercises should be done at least three times a week. Included in the list of cardiovascular exercises are jogging, walking, running, swimming, bike riding, taking a fitness class, and playing sports. Walk at least 30 minutes a day, but three ten-minute walks will be fine. Walking burns fat, but walking on a 10-15 degree incline, burns fat faster. This is because it creates a huge oxygen deficit, that the body is forced to burn fat for energy and survival while doing it.
  • Drink plenty of water and green tea. Drinking eight glasses of water and one cup of green tea every day will help you keep your metabolism up.
  • Spin like a child. Spinning is one of the best ways to lose belly fat. Spinning stimulates the endocrine system to bring balance to the hormones it releases. Because most people have imbalanced hormones, spinning brings balance easily by putting the body into an accelerated fat burning state. Spin 5-15 times until you are slightly dizzy. Spin in both directions.
  • Do Hindu squats. Squat up and down as fast as you can while touching the tips of your fingers to the ground during each repetition. Your goal is to do 100 repetitions in 5 minutes. After having done that, increase to 200 repetitions in 10 minutes. Doing Hindu squats puts you in a huge oxygen deficit, like walking on an incline.
  • Create isometric tension. Do this by sucking in your belly towards your spine and back.  This is the vacuum pose. Doing this for 5-15 minutes every day helps lose 2-3 inches from your waist in 3-4 weeks.
In conclusion, losing lower-belly fat requires determination and patience. In order to see good results, devote yourself to your exercise regimen and to eating healthy food. Be patient because you cannot see results immediately. Seeing the results makes it worth the wait.

How to Remove Lower Belly Fat

Excess fat in the abdominal area is harmful to your health and puts you at risk for serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, some forms of cancer and sleep apnea, according to MayoClinic.com. A waist circumference, measured just above the hip bone, of over 40 inches for a man and 35 inches for a woman is an indication of excess belly fat that should be removed.

Things You'll Need


  • Measuring tape
  • Exercise clothes
  • Resistance bands or free weights
  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Low-fat foods
  • Whole grains

Exercise


  1. Start an exercise routine that gives your entire body a work out. Doing only spot exercises for your lower belly will not help you lose the weight as your body is designed to lose fat gradually from all over your body. Do 30 minutes of aerobic exercise at least five days a week to burn off your excess fat, recommends the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Work out at a moderate-intensity level doing activities you enjoy such as brisk walking, bicycling, swimming, water aerobics or belly dancing.
  2. Do at least two days of muscle-strengthening exercise activity that works all your major muscle groups. Try weight-lifting, exercises on circuit training machines, yoga or Pilates workouts. These muscle-building exercises increase your strength and flexibility while they burn calories.
  3. Add extra exercises that focus on your lower belly area, such as crunches and twists, to improve the shape and density of your lower abdominal muscles. As your belly fat decreases, your toned muscles will become visible.


Diet


  1. Analyze what's in the food you normally eat and eliminate any high-calorie items from your diet. Your new dietary goal is to consume fewer calories in a day than your body uses. Aim for a daily intake of 2,000 calories a day to start and lower that number if you aren't noticing any weight loss results.
  2. Eat more fruits and vegetables every day. These foods contain no cholesterol and are naturally low in fat and calories and high in appetite-satisfying fiber. Fruits and vegetables are also full of the vitamins and minerals your body needs to stay healthy. A good starting point is to eat 2 cups of fruits and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables daily.
  3. Switch to low-fat foods. Eat lean meats that are low in saturated fats and cook them on the grill, sautéed in olive oil or baked in the oven. Increase your intake of low-fat plant-based protein foods, such as beans and lentils. Choose low- or no-fat dairy products.
  4. Eat fiber-rich whole grain products. Try whole oatmeal, brown rice, whole wheat bread and pasta as well as whole grain cereals. Those foods provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals and their high-fiber content fills you up faster on less food.
