Who doesn’t want to put their best foot forward and look their best during the New Year’s celebrations?
With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, many people are looking and feeling their best, and a flatter stomach is at the top of many fitness enthusiasts’ to-do lists. But losing belly fat isn’t just about aesthetics — excess abdominal fat around your midsection is linked with higher risks of diabetes and heart disease.
While spot reduction, like losing fat from only one area, isn’t possible through exercise alone, a smart mix of workouts can amp up calorie burn, strengthen your core, and help reduce overall body fat when done in concert with a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
In fact, fitness experts agree that the full-body workouts, cardio, HIIT, and core-strengthening moves will contribute to trimming belly fat. These types of exercises raise your heart rate, build muscle, and improve metabolism-all so crucial for burning calories and gradually reducing the fat in your tummy in the coming weeks before the close of the year.
Here, we explore five effective exercises for burning belly fat from the comfort of your home, without special equipment: simple, powerful, and devised to help you work toward a flatter stomach before New Year’s Eve, of course, if you are willing to be consistent and put them together with good nutrition and hydration.
