let me tell you why. The thing i was missing was that i was training the abs. every time i trained them my abs would get stronger and stronger yet my belly fat was hiding this. The thing people don't realise is that you need to burn that belly fat from around the abs. It took me a while to realise this but after a while i soon realised what it was.
So basically there is no secret. Now I'm not saying don't train abs, what I'm saying is don't forget cardio aswell as a healthy diet a healthy diet
When you try to burn fat off you cant just burn it from one place. it has to be burnt from everywhere. Men have more fat cells in there belly while women have more fat cells in there thighs.
What some people do is to get there body into a caloric deficit meaning you burn off more calories than you consume.
the best way to do this is to in my opinion do HIIT cardio.
What is HIIT cardio
HIIT is a training idea in which low to moderate intensity intervals are alternated with high intensity intervals.
HIIT can be applied to running or to exercises such as squatting. HIIT is considered to be much more effective than normal cardio because the intensity is higher and you are able to increase both your aerobic and anaerobic endurance while burning more fat than ever before.
so basically what i would reccomend while doing this is this plan
General Warm-up/Flexibility Routine
- Touch Toes - 15 Reps (Touch toes quickly, come right back up and repeat)
- Lunges - 10 reps/leg
- Side Lunges - 10 reps each direction

- High Knees - 25 yards
- Arm Circles - 20 reps
- Trunk Twists - 20 reps
- Side Bends - 20 reps
