Fat in the belly region is the most difficult to lose and is also a dangerous type of fat that can increase the risk of disease in the body. Perhaps you envy other people’s flat belly and wonder if yours will ever be that flat. The good news is that you can attain a flat belly and exercise is one of the best ways to make this happen. There are so many forms of exercise machines available nowadays and making use of certain exercise machines makes it easier to lose belly fat. Keep reading to know about some of these machines.
Cardio machines
Cardio exercises are known to burn calories faster, and a form of exercise such as jogging on a treadmill or pedaling an elliptical helps in belly-fat loss. With about 30 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio workout on any preferred cardio machine, you will begin to lose excess fat, including the belly fat. Although the visceral fat is mostly lost at first, the subcutaneous sheds off in bits as time goes by.
Some of the machines under this category are: treadmill, elliptical trainer, indoor cycle, ergometer/rowing machine, and step mill.
Skip the ab machines
Unlike what a lot of people think, the regular ab machines do not readily provide the intensity needed to challenge the body to burn extra fat. These machines work instead to build ab muscles, and not to shed off excess fat from the belly region. If you’ve been using them to get rid of belly fat, you should bear in mind now that they have a different purpose entirely. Rather than these ab machines, you can always sign up for a membership at a gym to engage in exercises that will help you get rid of the fat and also strengthen your abs.
Resistance training machines
Training with resistance machines stimulates fat-burning hormones and works faster than any other method. A great benefit to resistance machines is that they also help to develop a greater portion of lean tissue, which burns more calories at rest and builds a strong metabolism. Some of these resistance machines are: lat pull down, biceps curl, triceps extension, shoulder press, chest press, leg curl, and leg press.
These machines make belly-fat loss much easier when used regularly.
