Checking the scale is a good way to check your weight but it does not just weigh the fat. So it is not the best way to tell how much extra fat you have. You can lose fat without losing weight and you can lose weight without losing fat.

Checking your belly fat is a good way to tell if you are overweight. If you can grab a big handful then you may want to get rid of it. Excess belly fat is bad for your health. While exercising you can target specific muscles. You can work out your belly, arms, legs, back, etc. However, you can not target fat. Targeted fat loss also known as spot reduction is not possible.

Belly Fat Exercises

Any exercise that burns a significant amount of calories or helps you build muscle is a belly fat exercise. You just need to be active. Even playing a Wii sports game could be considered a belly fat exercise if it gets you moving. I have lost belly fat by playing sports games on the Wii. The best exercises are the ones you will actually want to do on a regular basis. Be more active than you are now and challenge yourself. Try to do a little more each week until you get the results you want.

When I wanted to quickly lose fat so my summer clothes fit I started by playing Wii sports games the first week. The second week I started walking more. The third week I added a weekly run on an elliptical trainer. In the fourth week, I started lifting some weights while I watched TV. I kept adding to my exercise routine and reducing the time I spent watching TV while sitting down.

Running, biking, swimming, jumping rope, boxing punches and a lot of other cardio exercises can firm up your abs. So do strength exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and dumbbell curls. The best exercises for losing belly fat while toning your abs work more than just your abs. I recommend riding a bike outside. You can lose belly fat while building muscle.
