Belly fat and the fat around your midsection, in general, is really easy to gain, but really hard to get rid of, and carrying around excess pounds of body fat is unhealthy and unattractive. So many people take it upon themselves to fix their belly fat problem, and most of them will try to do crunches and situps until the fat disappears. But crunches and situps are some of the worst exercises you can do because they don't burn a lot of calories at all, and unfortunately, you can't target the fat on your midsection by doing ab exercises. So truly the best exercise that you can do to reduce your belly fat is the exercise of self-control when it comes to your diet and what you eat on a daily basis. However, even though your diet will always be the main determining factor for how many calories you take in, there are certain exercises that burn far more calories than others, and these exercises can be used to boost the number of calories you burn on a weekly basis, which will help you burn more fat from your whole body including the fat on your midsection.
And the first exercise that I want to start with is a simple medicine ball slam. The easiest way to do this is by using either a slam ball, which looks just like a medicine ball or a sandbag. Since slam balls are becoming more and more common in gyms, I'll be demonstrating with a slam ball. So you're going to start with your feet shoulder-width apart and the ball in between your feet. Squat down, grab the ball, stand up, and curl and press it over your head. Then slam the ball down into the ground as hard as you can, in between your feet. So you don't want to just throw the ball to the ground using only your arms. Instead, when the ball is over your head you want to pull your hips back out from under you and put your whole body into the slam by bending at the waist and using the full power of your core to drive the ball into the ground. then repeat for reps. This same exercise can be done with a sandbag in the same exact way, and if you don't have access to either one, then you can make your own sandbag with the bag that I have linked up in the description, just add sand and you're good to go.
Another great exercise that'll get you really winded is the cable woodchopper. To set this one up you're going to bring the pulley to the bottom of the cable cross and attach a d handle. Then while standing with the D handle at your side, bend down, and grab it with both hands. You can either interlace your fingers or simply put one hand over the other. So this is your starting position, standing straight up with the d -handle in both hands at your side. From there you're going to squat straight down, stand up and with your elbows almost fully locked out, you're going to rotate the cable from your hips at an upward angle over your opposite shoulder. Then, bring the cable back to the starting position, while still keeping your elbows almost fully locked out and repeat for reps on one side before switching to the other. Don't make the mistake of bending and extending your arms on each repetition, this should be a rotational movement. AND keep in mind that most people don't perform exercises that develop rotational strength and this is a big problem because almost all injuries occur when a rotational force is involved. So strengthening with exercises like the woodchop can really help prevent potential injuries.
Next, we have one of the best calorie-burning exercises period, the weighted burpee. To begin you're going to grab two moderately heavy dumbbells that you can curl and press over your head. Then stand straight up with both dumbbells hanging at your sides. Squat down as you bend your back and plant both dumbbells around the outside of your feet. Then jump your feet back, out into a pushup position and perform a pushup onto the dumbbells. After that hop your feet back in between your hands, and stand straight up with the dumbbells. When lifting the dumbbells off the ground you want to do it with good form, as if you're performing a suitcase deadlift. So make sure you maintain the natural curve of your lower back as you stand up. And then curl and press those dumbbells over your head. Finally, lower the dumbbells back to your shoulders, then bring them back to your sides, and repeat for reps. Now if you're a beginner you can do these with just your body weight and instead of jumping your feet out, step ...

Performing Pushups All The Way Down requires strong pecs, shoulders, triceps, and even a strong core. The number of pushups you can do is also used as a metric that can measure your overall level of fitness and your upper body strength in most fitness tests across multiple continents. Unfortunately many people either struggle with pushups or they're stuck at a certain number of good clean reps even though they want to do more, so today I want to go over 7 things you can do to increase the number of pushups you can perform in the next 30 days.
The first and one of the best things you can do is increase the difficulty of regular pushups by adding weight to the exercise. There are a couple simple ways you can do this. You can either add a plate directly onto your upper back or you can take a regular bookbag and pack it with heavy objects. When you're performing reps with this heavier weight you should aim for a moderate rep count of 10 to 20 reps. In fact the closer you can get to failure within this rep range while still maintaining good form the better. Rather than focusing on reps when doing these weighted pushups, you should focus on increasing the weight that you're able to load on your back. Of course, you are limited by how much weight you can add to your back, so if you can't hit failure within the first 20 reps with the weight load you have available then yes aim for a higher rep range where you'll hit failure. Also in general I'm not saying you can't also do high reps later on in your workout, in fact, training with various rep ranges can help you get much stronger at pushups. But you should start with weighted pushups that force you to do fewer reps and do that for at least a few sets before moving on to higher rep bodyweight pushups.
Now what this is going to do is it's going to force your muscles to get used to performing pushups with a much heavier weight load than just your body weight. And your body is going to progressively adapt to doing these more challenging pushups in many ways, but especially by increasing the strenght of your active muscles like your chest shoulders, and triceps. This is actually going to lead to you being able to do more reps without that weight load.
Another thing you should do is incorporate knee pushups. These are excellent regardless of whether you're advanced or you're a beginner. If you struggle with regular bodyweight pushups and let's say you can't do 10 clean reps all the way down, knee pushups are a perfect way for you to progressively overload and get stronger at pushups. When you hit let's say 7 reps and you can't do any more pushups without dropping to the floor, drop to your knees instead and complete the number of reps that you were aiming for. Then during your next workout try to hit 8 reps before dropping to your knees and completing your reps. Now if you're someone that's advanced knee pushups can be used to hit true failure with pushups. You don't have to do this on every set, but on your last set of weighted pushups, or even bodyweight pushups you can do as many reps as possible on your toes, and then drop to your knees to continue doing reps until you hit true failure.
This will again create favorable muscular adaptations that will enable you to perform more pushups. Just keep in mind when doing knee pushups that you shouldn't stick your butt up in the air doing what looks like a prayer. Your hips should still be in line with your upper back and your knees when doing these pushups for them to be effective.
Something else that will help you drastically increase the number of pushups you could do is to lift weights and specifically work on increasing the amount of weight you can lift for your pressing and push exercises.
These include compound exercises like barbell bench press, dumbbell press, Incline press, Barbell Military Press, and Dumbbell overhead press. Getting stronger at tricep extensions can also translate to more pushups on the ground. So exercises like skull crushers, behind-the-head tricep extensions, cable rope extensions, and especially dips can all help with pushups. So don't think that just because your goal is to improve pushups you should only stick to pushups because focusing on upping just your bench press for example by a couple pounds every few weeks should highly improve the strenght of your chest shoulders and triceps...
