Joggers Burn Stomach Fat

That’s great news!

Consider that belly fat, the kind that’s right in there with your internal organs (otherwise known as visceral fat) is the key cause of diabetes. Belly fat of this nature leads to serious health problems.

On the other hand, if you’ve got subcutaneous fat (otherwise none as the “muffin top” around your waist) it’s not as bad, but you won’t get those sexy abs. The muscles are hidden by that layer of flab.

So no more excuses, right?

Well, hold on now because jogging is only part of the answer.

Problem With Stomachs

If you’ve had a child, you have a bit more of a challenge. A belly pouch after birth doesn’t seem to go away anytime soon after baby arrives. You haven’t used those muscles since forever. Now, they're out of shape and uncooperative.



But don’t worry, jogging is a terrific tool for weight loss. Jogging regularly will help you lose weight, but you’ll have to kick things up a notch. You can’t jog every day at the same pace and expect results. You’ll need to challenge yourself with intervals and hill sprints.

Jog to keep your body and muscles guessing. This way, you’ll burn stomach fat and get a flatter abdomen. If you’re jogging 30 minutes a day try sprinting throughout that jog for a minute or more. That’ll break up the routine and push you to get results faster.

Caloric Burn

The amount of calories you burn depends on your weight. The more you weigh the more calories you burn. Why? It doesn’t take much exertion for a heavier person to burn calories. They’ll be winded faster than someone who’s in better shape and trying to lose only ten pounds.

Jogging can be tough for heavier individuals. You may experience more achy joints.

So you’ll want to...

• Take your time starting out and build up your mileage.
• Challenge yourself each week to improve.
• Purchase a weight calculator to know the numbers of calories you shed jogging.

For example, a 30 minute jog by a 200 pound person burns about 316 calories on average.

Eat Right

This is an obvious one. If you eat junk and burn up the track you won’t get results. One defeats the other.

Cut the high calories and high fat foods. Examine your diet and make some changes. Don't throw out all the food in the kitchen. But do start over.

Conclusion

Change up your jogging routine and you’ll more effectively burn stomach fat. If you’re already a steady jogger this won’t be much change at all. And, you’ll keep your work outs interesting.
