How To Get Rid of Belly Fat - Top 10 New Year's Resolutions

By Rizal Shaik

Every year, how to get rid of belly fat fast is listed as one of the Top 10 New Year's Resolutions

Indeed, get rid of belly fat is definitely one of the most difficult Top 10 New Year's Resolutions and it never seems to fall off the top 10 list for most people.

But first, why am I saying reduce belly fat instead of losing weight? Let me explain. You see abs is like the sign that says whether you are fit or not. Simply put, you will never have flat abs if you are not fit. Therefore, if you put all your energy to reduce belly fat, you will in the process also lose weight.

Alright, so is there a way to really remove get rid of belly fat from our Top 10 New Year's Resolutions list?

Of course there's a way...

To put simply, you need to do these three important steps in order of importance. They are Mindset, Nutrition and Workouts.

The first one is the most important step - Mindset. Most people failed to reduce belly fat and remove it from their Top 10 New Year's Resolutions list because they fail in this step.

You must complete this right now:

1.Visualize the new you (feel the new energy you have, how attractive you look..)

2.Really want what you are going to do

3.Be specific and list down the goals you want to achieve (such as the hours to set aside every single week for workouts, the time period to achieve your goals, the type of food you want to skip)

4.Tell yourself you can reach your goals

The next step is proper nutrition. If you want to get rid of belly fat, this is where you want to focus a lot of your energy on. Why? Simple. If you put trash into your body, there is no miracle workout that can take them out of your body!

Now you just need to remember this simple thing about good nutrition - just eat natural foods.

Unprocessed, natural foods like fresh vegetables and fruits, meat, nuts etc are what you need to eat.

If you think foods with labels such as slim, low fat, low sugar or diet are healthy, then think again. These are nothing more than over-glorified processed foods that are no less unhealthy as those without these labels. So simply avoid them as much as you can.

Also if you really want to lose those stubborn belly fat fast, stop eating fast foods. Avoid them like the plague. And start teaching yourself to read food labels. Healthy eating starts when you are shopping for your groceries. Make sure you avoid anything with transfats in it.

Once you get nutrition on the right footing, your workout is actually a much easier step. But first let's correct your idea of what actually is a good workout.

Most people have the mistaken idea that a great workout means long cardio exercises. Heck most fitness trainers told you so too. However, long cardios are not the ideal workout if you want to lose fat, which is what you need to do if you want to reduce belly fat. Cardios gives you constant heart rate which is not good for burning fat. You need workouts that give you a range of heart rates instead.

I give you an example of a great fat burning exercise. If you do a quick round of skipping for say 30 seconds, slow down to recover your breath and go at it again, you will lose way more fat then long hours of cardio. And the best part is you only need ten to 15 minutes of this intense workout to burn fat and get rid of belly fat.

One of the reasons many people failed to remove their stubborn fat is because they got bored with the workouts. Don't keep doing the same exercises all the time. Inject variety in your routines. Change skipping to swimming or sprinting or cycling. Variety means fun and fun means you will enjoy your workouts and make working out a habit.

There you go. If you do these 3 steps properly, you will be well on your way to achieving your Top 10 New Year's Resolutions and striking off get rid of belly fat from your list this year! - 17273
