People often want to know how to lose belly fat and why belly fat can be the most stubborn of all to shift. This series will cover the importance of core strength, which not only helps with the question of how to lose belly fat, but is vitally important for all aspects of your health, fitness and well being.
Part one of this ‘How to Lose Belly Fat’ series will discuss the theory, while part two will show you the recommended exercises for strengthening the core, while reducing belly fat.
The ‘core’ muscles are those in the pelvis and trunk area. They include the abdominal muscles both at the front and sides of the abdomen, the erector muscles in the lower back, pelvic floor muscles and those around the hips. Some of the most important muscles are deeper and these are the ones that protect the spine.
As well as being important for keeping a healthy back, the strength of the core muscles affects your overall posture and balance. Keeping a strong core will also radically reduce any risk of injury in various day to day activities including exercise.
The best exercises for core strength training are those exercises that are similar to certain activities performed while doing a particular sport. The aim is to focus on rotational and diagonal movements, as well as thinking about balance and strength. Therefore exercises that use different equipment such as a Swiss ball, a wobble board, or a medicine ball, for example, are all ideal.
The next post in this series ‘How to Lose Belly Fat’, focuses on the specific exercises recommended for strengthening the core.
