Toughest Top 10 New Year's Resolutions - Reduce Belly Fat

By Rizal Shaik

Stubborn belly fat - how to remove it from your list of Top 10 New Year's Resolutions?

Indeed, get rid of belly fat is definitely one of the most difficult Top 10 New Year's Resolutions and it never seems to fall off the top 10 list for most people.

But first, why am I saying reduce belly fat instead of losing weight? Let me explain. You see abs is like the sign that says whether you are fit or not. Simply put, you will never have flat abs if you are not fit. Therefore, if you put all your energy to reduce belly fat, you will in the process also lose weight.

So you may ask the question then - "Can I really remove "reduce belly fat" from my list of Top 10 New Year's Resolutions?"

Well the answer is an absolute yes...

To put simply, you need to do these three important steps in order of importance. They are Mindset, Nutrition and Workouts.

The first one is the most important step - Mindset. Most people failed to reduce belly fat and remove it from their Top 10 New Year's Resolutions list because they fail in this step.

You must complete this right now:

1.Picture exactly the things you desire (think about how you want to feel, how you would like to look..)

2.Have a burning desire to do the things you are going to do

3.Be specific and list down the goals you want to achieve (such as the hours to set aside every single week for workouts, the time period to achieve your goals, the type of food you want to skip)

4.Really believe that your goals are achievable

Once your mindset is set right, you have to deal with nutrition next. Understand this - nutrition is much more important than your exercises. Why you might ask? Well simple put, if all you eat are junk foods, there is absolutely no workouts out there that can remove the junk you put in.

The best thing you can do about nutrition is to eat natural foods.

So avoid any processed foods and go for natural foods such as meats, fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts.

Anything that is processed, even if they are labelled "health foods" are to be avoided as much as possible. These so called "health foods" may be labelled diet, low-fat, low sugar and slim but there is really not as healthy as they are made out to be.

And whatever you do, just give fast foods a fast getaway. Don't eat them. Your healthy eating starts at the grocery store and the more you educate yourself about food labels, the better off you are. Watch out for transfats and give it a wide berth.

Seventy percent of the battle is done if you take care of your nutrition. Now comes the comparatively easier part - the workout. However, let's adjust your understanding of what constitutes a good workout.

Most people have the mistaken idea that a great workout means long cardio exercises. Heck most fitness trainers told you so too. However, long cardios are not the ideal workout if you want to lose fat, which is what you need to do if you want to reduce belly fat. Cardios gives you constant heart rate which is not good for burning fat. You need workouts that give you a range of heart rates instead.

Here is a great fat burning workout - skipping. Just skip quickly for about 30 seconds, take a break to recover your breath and do it again for another 30 seconds. If you just do this exercise for about ten to 15 minutes, you will be burning way more fats than hours of long cardios.

One more thing is that you need to constantly motivate yourself. One way to do it is to have different types of exercises. There is nothing worse than doing the same exercise every time. What you can do is just swap skipping for swimming or sprinting or stairs climbing. Do different exercises on different days to have variety and keep your motivation.

There you go. If you do these 3 steps properly, you will be well on your way to achieving your Top 10 New Year's Resolutions and striking off get rid of belly fat from your list this year! - 17274
