Reduce Belly Fat In 1 Week With Circuit Training

Looking for new ways to reduce belly fat? You may want to give circuit training a try. According to Wikipedia, circuit training is defined as:

a highly versatile and adaptable form of training that requires participants to perform a series of carefully selected exercises, in order that a ‘circuit’ be completed.

A circuit training workout generally consists of cardiovascular exercises as well as strength training ones to essentially get the best of both worlds. Both are effective ways to reduce belly fat so it only makes sense that combining them makes for a really great workout.

Before you start, plan on the exercises that you would like to do and set up each ’station’. While you’re at each station you will perform the exercise for at least 45 to 60 seconds and then rest for 30 to 60 seconds in between each exercise. If you really want to get the fat burning, eliminate the resting periods. Once you have made it through every exercise, you’ve made it through the ‘circuit’.

Here are some examples of circuit training exercises:

• High knees – Run in place, picking your knees up above your waist (or as high as you can) and pump your arms
• Jumping jacks
• Squat dumbbell press – Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, squat down and when you get up to the top of the movement press the dumbbells straight above your head. When you come back down into a squat, lower the dumbbell. You can do these with a dumbbell in one hand, or one in each hand.
• Push-ups – If you need to, feel free to do the modified version which consists of your knees coming into contact with the floor and not your feet.

So those are a few examples of circuit training moves that will help reduce belly fat. If you’re looking for a complete workout that will help reduce belly fat, click here.
