You probably already know that you cannot spot reduce with exercise. However, when you execute cardiovascular exercises for at least 20 minutes, you can burn fat. Not just stomach fat, adipose tissue that’s stored throughout your body. The best way to see those finely sculpted abs, is to burn stomach fat from your body.
A good, high energy, fat burning interval segment from your interval training is jumping rope! Here’s why, jumping rope is an excellent upper body and lower body exercise, that can improve physical fitness for any athletic ability. Five minutes of jumping rope burns the same numbers of calories as 15 minutes of brisk walking. Ten minutes of vigorous jumping is equivalent to running an 8 minute mile.
An excellent way to include the jump rope, is if you are toning or lifting weights, work on a body part first, finish, then jump rope for 5 -7 minutes. Go back to weight training work on another body part, then jump rope again for another 5-10 minutes and so on. You are efficiently getting your cardio exercise to burn fat, and weight training too.
My only suggestion is, to start out with your chest workout first, because after you jump rope it is not healthy to lay down on a bench. Try incorporating the jump rope in your routine and get ready to burn stomach fat!
