Why, hello, abs.
You already know the best cardio workout to blast belly fat. But if you’re looking for a more well-rounded routine, well, that’s where strength training comes in. Yes, we’ve talked about how spot-reducing fat isn’t actually a thing. But truth: Losing fat all over will trim your midsection.
You already know the best cardio workout to blast belly fat. But if you’re looking for a more well-rounded routine, well, that’s where strength training comes in. Yes, we’ve talked about how spot-reducing fat isn’t actually a thing. But truth: Losing fat all over will trim your midsection.
Plus, as she notes, if you’re stuck on a cardio-heavy program, your fitness can actually plateau. Strength training will increase your exercise threshold so you can go harder when you do those cardio workouts, helping you make even bigger gains. So then the question becomes: What should you do at the gym? Higher-intensity strength sessions that focus on full-body functional and dynamic movements (a.k.a. how your body moves every day) will be the most effective and time-efficient way to maximize fat burning and muscle building. In addition, strength training has the happy effect of increasing bone density to keep your skeleton strong as you age.
Try This Fat-Blasting Workout
Hop on the fast track to flatter abs with this five-move workout from Hutchins. (You can find more at the Nike+ Training Club app, free on iTunes and Android.) To keep your heart rate up throughout, perform 30 seconds of “work,” followed by a 10 second rest break. Choose weights that make the last few seconds of each interval feel difficult to finish with proper form.
Complete the circuit three times, taking time to recover between each round. (Think: The amount of time it'll take you to go get water.) The other benefit to doing a timed Tabata-style workout is that you tend to push yourself harder when you’re going against the clock rather than counting reps, says Hutchins.
Oh! You’ll see that these don’t include typical core moves—no situps here. But these moves force you to engage your abs throughout, which will challenge those muscles.
How Often Should You Do It?
You don’t want to repeat the same strength workout over and over, because gains come when you continually switch things up, Hutchins says. When you’re first starting out, do one strength workout during your first week, she says. The second week: Do one strength session and one endurance workout. Week three: Try two strength and two endurance workouts. “There’s no magical science, but you want to work with constant change to shock and surprise your body,” she says. “Altering your routine will help support fat burning so you start to see results faster.” Yes, please, and thank you.
