By Ada Denis

When it comes to weight loss, one of the most frequently asked questions has definitely been how to loose belly fat. That's not really surprising right? I mean, who doesn't want a flatter stomach? Now while you can't specifically target the belly when you want to burn fat, I'm going to show you a really effective way to loose belly fat and strengthen your abs.

The best way to go about getting rid of any fat is to perform intense workouts. And to lose belly fat, this is definitely among the best intense workouts you'll ever come across.

This intense workout is known as High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). Why is HIIT so good? Because unlike conventional jogging (for some reason, people think jogging is the best weight loss exercise, when it definitely isn't), HIIT increases your metabolism such that you will be burning calories even after you are done with the workout. And here is another thing really good about HIIT. Unlike jogging, you can finish one HIIT work out in just 15 minutes. Who says you have to spend a lot of time to work out?

Here is how you can properly perform the HIIT such that you get the maximum benefit from it. All you need for this workout is a good pair of running shoes, a stopwatch and sports clothes. It's better if you head to the a track for this workout. After you warm up and stretch, you will start the workout.

What you are going to do is jog for 60 seconds and then sprint as fast as you can for 30 seconds, then jog for 60 seconds and sprint for 30 seconds. Continue this for 15 minutes. This workout is enough to answer the question how to loose belly fat. Just make sure you eat healthy, if not, you will render this workout useless. - 16004
