![]() The Turkish get-up is a 200-year-old total-body exercise that involves using a kettlebell, and it's a favorite of celebrity trainer Ramona Braganza. Need more workout inspiration? Pick up the Tone Up in 15 workout DVD, which is filled with 15-minute total-body workouts that you can do at home. Here are the best exercises and workouts to lose belly fat, according to personal trainers. Please note: It's absolutely true that you can't outrun a less-than-nutritious diet-eating healthy, vitamin-rich foods and a balanced diet play a big role in overall fitness and helping you reach your goals (it's best to consult with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) to figure out what works best for you). “I'm a big fan of exercises that are core-focused, but work multiple muscle groups simultaneously with a HIIT component for added calorie burn,” she says. "But there are some great core-focused exercises that will torch fat all over the body, resulting in a strong and more chiseled core.”Ĭelebrity trainer and nutrition expert Jillian Michaels adds that doing a variety of exercises that combine cardio, strength, and core work will ultimately help you reduce body fat. “Spot reduction isn’t a viable approach to losing belly fat," explains fitness trainer and nutrition expert Corey Phelps, creator of the Cultivate by Corey Fitness Program. In fact, exercises that promote spot reduction just don't exist. We hate to break it to you, but doing hundreds of crunches every day isn't the best way to lose belly fat. ![]() 6 week Six Pack was my third Jillian Michaels DVD, after the 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30.Īs you might already know, I am a huge, HUGE Jillian Michaels fan.When many people think of losing weight, one of the first things that comes to mind is getting a toned and taut tummy. I loved both those DVDs so I was excited to try something new. I got the Jillian Michaels Boxset for Christmas and 6 Week 6 Pack was the first DVD I tried from that set.Ħ Week 6 Pack follows a slightly different format from the other Jillian DVDs I have tried- instead of the 3-2-1 system of 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute abs, 6 week Six pack involves one circuit of moves (21 in level one and 19 in level two) followed by a repetition of the same moves for another circuit, only double time. ![]() The moves still involve a mix of strength and cardio, but this time they focus more specifically on ab-training moves (as the name suggests). There are two levels which Jillian suggests you do five time week for three weeks. I have to be completely honest, at first I really didn't love this DVD. It just didn't push me and exhaust me in the same way 30 day Shred and Ripped in 30 did. I didn't come from the workout dripped in sweat and desperate for a shower. I found it too easy to cheat and not push hard enough. Which was when I realised that this DVD required me to push myself. Unlike Jillian's other DVDs, this isn't as hard and fast- paced and it's easy to slack, so you have to self-motivate much more. Many people recommend this DVD only after doing the 30 Day Shred and I definitely thing that is important in terms of self - motivation. Once I decided to really push myself I did come out of the workout exhausted and I did feel I had achieved something. ![]() Once I picked up the pace my abs were burning after this workout! There also isn't as much cardio (my favourite!) in this DVD so you have to make sure that the cardio you do really counts- upping the speed and the reps and the intensity and not letting yourself slack. I enjoyed the different format of this DVD too. I love the 3-2-1 system but this was a nice change from what I was used to. That second circuit at double time though? OUCH. I wish this DVD had three levels instead that you could do for two weeks- by the end of week two on each level I was really starting to get bored, but by the start of week 3 I could power through every move of every circuit without stopping, so Jillian obviously knows what she's doing! I think the only thing I didn't like as much was doing the same level for three weeks. ![]()
