10 Best HIIT Exercises to Torch Your Belly Fat Faster

“These are some of the best exercises you can do to burn more calories, overall body fat, and reduce your belly fat/love handles faster.”

“Remember that the number one way to lose belly fat is not with a workout, but instead with your diet. However, these fat loss exercises can assist with weight loss and many of these exercises can be done at home.”

“Belly fat and the fat around your midsection, in general, is really easy to gain, but really hard to get rid of, and carrying around excess pounds of body fat is unhealthy and unattractive. So many people take it upon themselves to fix their belly fat problem, and most of them will try to do crunches and situps until the fat disappears.”

“But crunches and situps are some of the worst exercises you can do because they don’t burn a lot of calories at all, and unfortunately, you can’t target the fat on your midsection by doing ab exercises. So truly the best exercise that you can do to reduce your belly fat is the exercise of self-control when it comes to your diet and what you eat on a daily basis.”

“However, even though your diet will always be the main determining factor for how many calories you take in, there are certain exercises that burn far more calories than others, and these exercises can be used to boost the number of calories you burn on a weekly basis, which will help you burn more fat from your whole body including the fat on your midsection.”

Medicine Ball Slam

“And the first exercise that I want to start with is a simple medicine ball slam. The easiest way to do this is by using either a slam ball, which looks just like a medicine ball or a sandbag. Since slam balls are becoming more and more common in gyms, I’ll be demonstrating with a slam ball (in the video below).

“So, you’re going to start with your feet shoulder-width apart and the ball in between your feet. Squat down, grab the ball, stand up, and curl and press it over your head. Then slam the ball down into the ground as hard as you can, in between your feet.”

You don’t want to just throw the ball to the ground using only your arms. Instead, when the ball is over your head you want to pull your hips back out from under you and put your whole body into the slam. Do this by bending at the waist and using the full power of your core to drive the ball into the ground. then repeat for reps.”

“This same exercise can be done with a sandbag in the same exact way.”

Cable Woodchop

“Another great exercise that’ll get you really winded is the cable woodchopper. To set this one up you’re going to bring the pulley to the bottom of the cable cross and attach a d handle.

  • Then while standing with the D handle at your side, bend down, and grab it with both hands.
  • You can either interlace your fingers or simply put one hand over the other.
  • This is your starting position, standing straight up with the d -handle in both hands at your side.
  • From there you’re going to squat straight down, stand up and with your elbows almost fully locked out, you’re going to rotate the cable from your hips at an upward angle over your opposite shoulder.
  • Then, bring the cable back to the starting position, while still keeping your elbows almost fully locked out and repeat for reps on one side before switching to the other.

“Don’t make the mistake of bending and extending your arms on each repetition, this should be a rotational movement. AND keep in mind that most people don’t perform exercises that develop rotational strength and this is a big problem. This is because almost all injuries occur when a rotational force is involved. Strengthening with exercises like the woodchop can really help prevent potential injuries.”

Weighted Burpee

“Next, we have one of the best calorie-burning exercises period, the weighted burpee. To begin you’re going to grab two moderately heavy dumbbells that you can curl and press over your head.”

“Then stand straight up with both dumbbells hanging at your sides. Squat down as you bend your back and plant both dumbbells around the outside of your feet. Then jump your feet back, out into a pushup position and perform a pushup onto the dumbbells.”

“After that hop your feet back in between your hands, and stand straight up with the dumbbells. When lifting the dumbbells off the ground you want to do it with good form, as if you’re performing a suitcase deadlift.”

“Make sure you maintain the natural curve of your lower back as you stand up. And then curl and press those dumbbells over your head. Finally, lower the dumbbells back to your shoulders, then bring them back to your sides, and repeat for reps.”

Muscles of the Core, abs and lower body

Your core is an important part of your body. It supports your spine, helps you balance and move efficiently, and protects your internal organs from injury.

The core is the body’s centre of gravity, encompassing the obliques, rectus abdominis and transverse abdominis.

The core muscles are responsible for providing stability for your spine by controlling the position of your trunk in relation to your pelvis.

They also help with spinal, pelvic and hip movement due to their connection between these areas.

The obliques are made of muscles that work together to bend the trunk.

The obliques are located on the sides of your abdomen. They help you bend to the side and twist your trunk, which is an important aspect of maintaining balance.

The external oblique runs from hip bone to rib, and it bends the trunk toward that side. It also supports internal organs and helps you maintain good posture.

The internal oblique runs from rib cage to pelvis, and it bends the trunk toward that side as well as twists it towards that direction.

The rectus abdominis muscle runs from the sternum to the pelvis, overlaid by another set of fibres that runs horizontally.

The rectus abdominis is responsible for flexing the spine and curling the torso forward, as well as flexing the hips, which is important for walking and standing upright.

The lower abdominal muscles are also known as transverse abdominis or TVA (transversalis). This muscle wraps around your abdomen like a corset and plays an important role in stabilizing your trunk during exercise movements by preventing your internal organs from shifting around within their cavities.

The obliques sit on either side of your abdomen like two strips of bacon—and they’re responsible for side-bending motions like throwing a ball or swinging an axe (so be careful when working out next time)!

The transverse abdominis is a deep layer of muscle that helps control posture and keep your organs in place.

The transverse abdominis is a deep layer of muscle that helps control posture and keep your organs in place. It also helps with breathing, coughing, sneezing and vomiting.

It’s also known as the “corset” muscle, because it wraps around your midsection like an undergarment to compress your internal organs. This effectively decreases the size of your waistline, making you slimmer overall.

The transverse abdominis lies underneath the rectus abdominis (the visible part of your six-pack). You can’t see this layer when you look at someone’s stomach—it lies directly below their skin and muscles.

The latissimus dorsi is located just under your arm and connects with the lower back and shoulder blade muscles.

The latissimus dorsi is located just under your arm and connects with the lower back and shoulder blade muscles.

It is responsible for extending the arm backward, which means that when you raise your arms to wash your hair or clean out a closet, this muscle is being used. The latissimus dorsi also helps rotate the arm inward (medially). These motions are most apparent when reaching for objects above shoulder level.

The vastus medailis is part of your quadriceps muscles, which help you stand up straight and run fast.

You have a group of four muscles in your thigh called the quadriceps. They help you stand up straight and run fast. The quadriceps are also responsible for keeping your knee straight when you sit down.

Rectus femoris is one of 4 muscles that make up the quadriceps muscles in the front of your thigh.

The rectus femoris is one of the four muscles that make up the quadriceps muscles in your thigh. It’s the largest and most superficial of these muscles, which are responsible for extending (straightening) your knee joint. The rectus femoris originates from the anterior inferior iliac spine (hip bone), and inserts into the tibial tuberosity at its lower end.

Vastus lateralis is one of 3 large flat muscles in the outer side of your thigh next to your hip joint.

The Vastus lateralis is one of three large flat muscles in the outer side of your thigh next to your hip joint. These muscles help you stand up straight, run fast and do other activities that require strong leg movements.

Vastus lateralis is part of the quadriceps muscles, which include vastus medialis, vastus intermedius and rectus femoris. The quadriceps are large because they move a lot of weight (your body) during movements like walking or running.

Your core muscles are key to stabilizing your body and enabling you to move, twist and turn without falling over.

Your core muscles are key to stabilizing your body and enabling you to move, twist, and turn without falling over. They also help you maintain a good posture and protect the spine from injury.

  • Stabilization of the pelvis and spine
  • Movement of the arms and legs
  • Reduction of back pain (low back pain)
  • Reduction of low back pain (back pain)

A strong core can provide many benefits to improve your overall health:

Conclusion

In summary, the core muscles are key to stabilizing your body and enabling you to move, twist and turn without falling over. They also help you stand up straight, run fast, lift heavy objects and do just about anything else you want to do with your body.

Use the exercises outlined in the video above but remember that without a sensible, sustainable nutrition plan, fat loss will not occur.
