If you are man over the age of 40 and are frustrated or having a hard time losing belly fat, then please don’t give up. YOU can lose belly fat fast and reach peak levels of health and fitness well into your forties, fifties and even sixties. Even if you’ve never stepped foot in the gym before, it’s not too late to start.
For many men, the one area they really want to work on most is the abdominal region because this is the area that tends to be their ‘trouble spot’. Do keep in mind that to effectively improve this area of the body, you will need to both firm up those muscles and burn body fat, which is a combination of both diet, exercise and optimizing your #1 male hormone
But if you’re wondering which exercises are going to be best for you to perform, wonder no more. Let’s give you the ultimate line-up to start performing today so that you can begin feeling the results tomorrow.
Here are my 7 favourite exercises will help men over the age of 40 burn belly fat fast.
1. Mountain Climbers – Mountain climbers are great because not only will they help work your core to a high degree, but they’ll also challenge you on the cardiovascular fitness front, torching calories in the process.
2. Plank Body/Hip Raises – Plank Body or Hip Raises as they are often called are an advanced move that is done after you can master the basic plank. While the plank exercise involves an isometric contraction, the plank body / hip raise brings muscle contractions in the mix for an even more powerful movement pattern.
3. Plank Alternating Shoulder Touch – Another option to perform is a plank alternating side touch. This maintains the isometric contraction taking place in the core, but since you are now moving the upper body and touching each shoulder, side to side, the ab muscles have to fight even harder to keep you balanced. As an added benefit, this is also a fantastic exercise to do to help build up your shoulder strength as well because while one arm is lifted, all the stress and pressure will be placed on the other arm to keep you balanced and over the body.
4. Predator Hops / Skier Hops – One of the best moves for your core is predator hops, which involve you jumping side to side while keeping the hands in a stationary position fixed on the floor. This is a great metabolic exercise that will help you burn calories you need to get rid of that belly fat. You’ll need to contract the core hard each and every hop as you bring the legs into the body slightly and prepare for your landing.
5. Abs Bicycles – If your love handles are what you’d describe as your trouble zone, the abs bicycle is a great go to movement to help keep you firm, tight, and looking your best. In a recent study, ab exercises were ranked from best to worst. The bicycle exercise ranked as #1 because it requires abdominal stabilization, body rotation, and more abdominal muscle activity. This exercise is going to hit your oblique muscles very well when done properly but will still hit the rectus abdominis (your six pack muscles) very well also. When doing this one, the trick is to never let momentum take over. It’s easy to just swing yourself into the movement patter and neglect the actual muscle contractions that should be taking place, but this will be a huge disservice to yourself.
6. Rotation Side Planks -Rotational side planks are another perfect move if you want to hit the oblique muscles because they involve that rotational movement that requires these muscles to contract and guide the movement pattern. This is another plank variation that should only be done once you have mastered the regular plank exercise and can hold that without a struggle for at least one minute.
7. Stationary Sprints – Finally, to help really torch calories fast, burning up all that extra body fat, try stationary sprints. The reason we do stationary sprints over traditional sprints is because doing this will create more stress and tension on the ab muscles because you’re lifting the legs directly up rather than using a forward movement pattern.
So there you have the top moves to do to help get firmer abs, melt body fat, and start feeling your best. Try these two to three times per week consistently and watch how fast you notice a difference.
