Fitness Equipment To Slim Your Belly

Fitness Equipment that Slims Your Belly

As we get older, the waistline expands. That belly fat, a natural consequence of a slowing metabolism and lack of exercise, not only makes you feel self conscious about how you look, but it’s also a dangerous type of fat that raises your risk of disease. Here’s some suggestions for fitness equipment to slim your belly!

First, the best way to loose that belly is exercise. And, the best machines are not the ones you see infomercials on. Those ab rockers and rollers do a great job of strengthening your abs – but they don’t really do much to reduce belly fat.

Think Cardio

The fastest way to loose fat is cardio. Cardiovascular activities such as jogging on a treadmill, or pedaling on an elliptical, quickly speeds up your metabolism. And, you’ll also loose that dangerous visceral fat (that’s below your muscles surrounding your vital organs) as well as subcutaneous fat (which is on top of your stomach muscles and makes you look fat).

Best Type of Cardio Machines for Loosing Belly Fat

You may want to vary your workouts among a couple different machines, or vary your workouts on a single type of machine – but the best machines that slims your belly are:

Add Resistance Work

Cardio workouts are a great way to burn fat – quickly. But in order to keep that fat off, you need to speed up your metabolism – and the best way to do that is to build muscle. By adding muscle, you increase the amount of energy your body needs. And, as long as your caloric intake stays the same, your body will get that energy from your body’s fat stores.

Lean tissue burns more calories at rest and contributes to a stronger burning metabolism — meaning it’s easier to lose weight in your middle and elsewhere.

Best Type of Resistance / Strength Equipment for Keeping Belly Fat Off

It may seem counterintuitive to resistance train – as the following machines target muscle groups that aren’t around your midsection. But getting rid of belly fat requires effort from your whole body, not just your waistline. The major resistance machines to hit are

  • Lat pull down
  • Chest press
  • Leg press
  • Shoulder press
  • Biceps curl
  • Triceps extension
  • Leg curl
