1. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), like sprints or kettlebell swings, is more effective for belly fat loss than steady-state cardio. HIIT stresses the body to burn fat and increases metabolism for over 24 hours. 2. It's important to manage calorie intake, as excess calories will be stored as belly fat over time. You have a six hour window after eating to burn calories through exercise before they are stored as fat. 3. Reducing stress through lifestyle changes can also aid in belly fat loss, as high cortisol levels promote fat storage, especially around the abdomen. Anaerobic exercise like sprints elicits lower cortisol spikes than aerobic exercise.
