Check out the #1 bodyweight workout to shrink hanging belly fat, and reclaim your waistline.

There are a few reasons I like bodyweightworkouts for burning belly fat.

The first is that you might perform them with little-to-no equipment.

Perform each exercise for three sets of eight to 12 repetitions.

Rest for 60 seconds between sets, and perform the workout up to three times per week.

That being said, squats hit the major lower body muscles very effectively.

Additionally, training the functional movement of squatting itself helps you maintain mobility and independence as you age.

For increased difficulty, switch your legs midair, and land in the opposite stance.

When performing plyo pushups, lower toward the floor in a plank position by bending your elbows.

Then, quickly push through both hands forcefully, and scrub the ground.

To decrease difficulty, perform standard pushups.

To increase the difficulty, elevate your feet.

Be sure to avoid letting your hips sag by keeping your core engaged the entire time.

Begin in a plank position.

Elevate one foot off the ground, and bring that knee toward your chest.

Including burpees is a great way to add full-body power to your fat-loss routine.

Additionally, the metabolic boost goes a long way toward keeping your fat-burning machine churning at full steam.

Begin each burpee with a jump squat.

As you land, quickly drop down into a plank position.

it’s possible for you to perform a quick pushup for extra intensity.

Quickly bounce back with your feet under you in a crouch position.

Then explode upwards into the next jump squat, and repeat for 10 repetitions.
