How To Reduce Belly Fast By Not Making These Mistakes

Last updated on: January 28, 2015 17:01 IST

#1 Walking aimlessly everyday without tracking it

Most people simply feel that walking regularly helps reduce the belly fat. However, the duration/distance one must aim to cover in order to make a significant difference in the bulge is not known by many. For instance, a person takes around 5000-6000 steps daily. A pedometer motivates an individual to take 10000 steps which is required to make this exercise count.

#2 Doing 500 crunches and sit ups are enough - Think again

Simply performing crunches and sits ups is not enough. Start exercising with the Ab Wheel Pro as crunches and sit ups only strengthens your abdominal muscles while the Ab Wheel also strengthens your core muscles. It works on multiple muscle groups which increases your core strength; stabilises your spine and prevents injuries related to extreme body movements.

#3 Performing floor exercises on the bare ground

If you are performing yoga or any other floor exercises on a bare ground, the chances of muscular discomfort/injuries are high. Use a yoga mat as it provides you with the right amount of padding that protects your elbows, knees and tailbones and the rubberised coating ensures superior grip. The material of the yoga mat soaks all your sweat and is also easy to clean.

#4 Using dumbbells will make you lose it all

It is a common belief that using free weights like dumbbells are enough to lose the belly fat. However, using a resistance band is way better than dumbbells as they provide better resistance and support. Lifting heavier dumbbells could restrict the movement and could result in injuries whereas the elastic nature of a resistance band improves the flexibility of your muscles encouraging better movements in more than one direction.

#5 Performing traditional push ups is the way to go? No!

The regular push ups do not let you move your wrist while going up which limits the activity of your muscles whereas the push up pro engages more muscle groups and simultaneously reducing any kind of strain on the wrist/palms/joints.

#9 You need loads of time to actually lose the belly fat

If you think only people who have loads of time can actually get rid of belly fat, then again you are wrong.

The heat generated from this trimmer increases the temperature of your body making you sweat. This eventually results in belly fat loss.
