Traditional abdominal exercises are not the most effective way to lose belly fat. With exercises such as crunches or sit ups, you are lying on you back and your muscles are relaxed during much of your movement. These are not fat burning exercises. There is no muscle overload to get rid of the fat and get down to lean muscle tissue. You need to burn fat and to do that you need to perform strengthening exercise. Not only are your muscles not fully used, but in order to reshape your body you must get your heart rate up, and traditional abs exercises do not get your heart rate raised. Moreover, during crunches and sit ups, your abs are flexing, which is not the way they were designed to move. Your abs are designed to stabilize the body, and thus, should be trained that way.

One of the first steps to losing belly fat without doing abs exercise is to use interval cardio training exercise. These exercises get your heart rate up, increase your metabolism and continue to burn calories for 24-48 hours after exercising. Interval training is a type of cardio training that alternates between periods of high and low intensity. Examples of interval training exercises that will help you lose belly fat include stair climbing, sprinting, or biking all of which work to get your rate up increasing your metabolism. For example, you can run hard for one minute, then walk for two minutes, and continue alternating the intensity in that fashion for 4-5 rounds.

Another step in losing belly fat is using strength training exercises to put lean tissue on your body. Strength training exercises are exercises that use resistance to strengthen and condition the muscles. Examples of strength training exercises that can be used to help you lose belly fat include: push-ups, pull-ups, squats, and lunges. These can be done with or without the help of exercise equipment or weights. Strength training exercises are also easily accomplished as body weight exercises, using the weight of your body to provide its own resistance. These types of exercises are inexpensive, easy to do, require no special equipment or training, and can be performed anywhere.

Those hoping to lose belly fat shouldn't be fooled by promises of special results from crunches or sit ups or other just abdominal exercises. There is more to losing belly fat than abdominal exercises and the benefits are not only a leaner, smoother abdominal region but great energy and health.with a decreased chance for developing cardiovascular diseases.
