Some examples include walking, biking, swimming, interval training, circuit training, or anything you do to sustain your target heart rate for at least 30 minutes most days. I hate to be repetitive, but cardiovascular exercise helps to burn stomach fat and regular ‘ol adipose tissue!

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!
We have blogged about kettlebells early on. How fabulous the kettlebell workout can be. It truly is a whole body workout. If you are limited on time, you can get your heart rate up and still tone and condition your muscles. Another great thing about kettlebells, is that no matter what exercise you perform, you must keep your core engaged.
By using the kettlebells, you can burn stomach fat, because the heart rate is elevated for
cardio and the stomach is tight! One of the the abdominal specific exercises is the Windmill. Legs are apart with one foot pointed about 45 degrees out and back foot is facing forward. You can use 2 kettlebells by holding one in each hand. Keep the front leg straight, as you extend the opposite arm straight up in the air. Now bend toward the side of the forward leg as your hand reaches for your toes, while other arm is extended straight up. It is very similar to a Triangle pose in yoga. Both hands can hold a kettlebell or just the lifted arm. Switch and repeat on the other side.
Renegade Rows, are a tough exercise, which will surely get the heart rate going. Start out in a push up position, except each hand is holding a kettlebell. Lift one arm toward your body, like a bent over row, keeping that core strong and don’t twist the body. Put the arm down and alternate with the other arm. Keep alternating till fatigue. Wow!!
I do hope you can incorporate some kettlebell exercises into your routine, for a whole body workout and to burn stomach fat.
