What exercises reduce body fat?
When people start to think of losing weight, most of the time they start to think about their fitness regime. Aside from diet, exercising is commonly regarded as the best way to get fit. Additionally, it has also been linked to many other benefits, including being a positive boost for your mental health.
When it comes to burning fat, it’s all about getting moving! Luckily, there are plenty of exercises that will work better than others when it comes to an increase in fat burning and promoting weight loss.
1. Cardio
The most common modes of exercise, cardio comes in all different shapes: walking, running, swimming, cycling, and many more. Many believe adding cardio to your workout routine may be one of the most effective ways to enhance fat burning and for good reason. A review of 16 studies showed that the more aerobic exercises people did, the more belly fat they lost. After all, that is the area most people aim to target for fat loss!
2. Resistance training
Whereas cardio will burn more calories, resistance training – also known as weight training or strength training – facilitates fat loss in a few different ways. This type of exercise builds a high amount of muscle mass and, as muscle requires an increased demand for energy expenditure over fat both during exercise and at rest, there’s a good reason why all those people are pumping iron at the gym!
