Well, you can't just lose belly fat, you will lose fat from all over your body.skinnyguy said:
Cardio is vastly overrated for fat loss, you can lift weights in a manner that will double as cardio and keep your heart rate elevated while torching fat.
It depends how committed you are. The single best workout program I have ever used was an 8x8 program by Vince Gironda. It was a twice a day program using short, intense workouts of no more than 20-25 minutes each with very little rest in between sets(15 seconds). You will torch fat on this program but it requires a high level of dedication...3 days on, 1 day off. If you want to try it I will pm you the workout routine.
If that is too much or time doesnt allow it, I would recommend doing something like time/volume training.
Basically you take your large body parts---quads, back,chest and do a 15 min block, and smaller body parts---hams, bi's, tri's, calves and shoulders and do 7.5 min blocks. In these timed blocks you start with a weight you can lift for 10 reps normally, and you will do 3 reps, then rest 10 seconds, 3 reps, rest 10 seconds, until the 15 minutes or 7.5 minutes are up. If you can't get 3 reps after a while, increase rest time to 15 seconds, then 20 seconds, etc until you can get 3 reps. If you are able to go more than half the time with getting 3 reps every ten seconds, then increase the weight next time. If not, use the same weight until you can. Then immediately go to the next block.
Blocks are as follows:
Day 1/Day 4: Chest, Back, Bi's, Tri's
Day 2/Day 5: Quads, Hams, Calves, Shoulders
Day 1/4 will take 45 mins, day 2/5 will take 37.5 minutes...your goal is to work as hard as possible in the amount of time you have...no water breaks, no talking to others, no resting...you should be very tired by the end of these at first but within a few weeks you will be able to do more and more weight as you adapt...
Run this program for 6 weeks along with a good carb cycling diet and you will see a significant difference in body fat...
