Cardio Exercises to Lose Belly Fat

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Doing cardio can certainly help you to lose belly fat. But why not get a double benefit out of it and focus on the kind of workouts which can not only help you shed belly fat but also help you to build strong legs.

After all, your legs are what carry you around. Even if you're totally satisfied with the way they look, having strong legs can certainly help you workout and function better.

So, let's focus on some killer cardio exercises to lose belly fat and get strong legs at the same time:

1. Jumping rope - This is a great and short cardio workout which you can also do at home. Jumping rope works the entire body but it truly strengthens your legs. In addition, you also burn a lot of body fat by doing it, which is great for getting flat abs.

2. Running - We all know how running works the lower body. In fact, it works the upper body as well as your abs but if you do running on a regular basis (especially outside) you will have strong legs.

3. Mountain climbing - Anyone who thinks this isn't an aerobic workout is sadly mistaken. This is one of the hardest sports there is and you will get an awesome cardio stimulation when you do it.

4. Cycling - If you've ever seen the legs of cyclers you may have noticed how incredibly muscular they are. This is because cycling build the leg muscles and also helps you to burn belly fat very fast.

If you do these workouts you will burn belly fat and develop stronger legs at the same time.
