10 FLAT BELLY SHORTCUTS

You already...do intense cardio
ADD WEIGHTS
Vigorous aerobic exercise, such as fast walking or jogging, is great for blasting belly fat. Combine it with a '''total-body weight-training''' routine, and you’ll boost results and firm your midsection even more. A 12-week US study found that exercisers who did a high-intensity total-body resistance routine combined with cardio lost more than twice as much body fat—and more than four times as much belly fat—as cardio-only exercisers did. (The resistance-training group also ate a high-protein diet, while the other group followed a traditional, moderate-protein eating plan.) Researchers speculate that the extra fat loss is due to the stepped-up kilojoule burn you get after lifting weights, plus the extra protein.
