What’s The Best Exercise to Lose Weight and Speed Up Belly Fat Loss?

I often hear, “What’s the best exercise to lose weight?” or “How can I speed up belly fat loss?”

The truth is that both diet and exercise go hand in hand….if you do one and not the other you’ll have to accept that losing belly fat will take you longer.

Interestingly, as a woman ages it becomes that much more important to incorporate some type of physical activity into her life, not only for weight loss (a good enough reason on its own) but also to keep bones healthy and slow down bone loss.

It lowers the risk of osteoporosis - especially after menopause.

It helps with your overall mood too and is known as a great way to help fight off depression.

Regular physical activity will help to reduce the occurrence of many diseases women are at risk of developing as they age.

It will also keep you looking and feeling younger longer!

For those women that are still turning up their noses at the prospect of having to exercise to lose belly fat you should also know that visceral belly fat is the first type of stomach fat you’ll lose.

Yeah for that!

Personally, when I began to exercise (an idea that was completely foreign to me throughout my 20’s and 30’s) I actually began to enjoy it...in time.

Dancersize was all the rage back then (does anyone remember Richard Simmon’s “Movin’ to the oldies"?) ….and I enjoyed dancing anyway, so…it motivated me to stick to it.

Within weeks my body began to change, I lost some weight and my mood swings improved.

Looking back, the weight loss results were “just ok” but I enjoyed it enough to keep going - I actually began to look forward to that “me” time.

It was just the beginning point and of course, much has changed since then.

So what’s my point in going down memory lane here?

Well, I personally believe that the “secret” to staying motivated is to find (or discover) some form of activity that you really enjoy – anything that’s fun won’t feel like exercise.

Any activity that you enjoy doing will be easier to stick to long term.

It's a start and I'll be sharing more thoughts and recommendations on the best exercise to lose weight, as well as what worked for me in the articles below.
