TIP #3 3 tricks to use if you have stubbornly fat bodyparts by: Ryan Faehnle 3. Go for quality over quantity in your workouts to carve out your abdominals You’d probably be quite surprised if I told you that one way to get leaner is to shorten your workouts. If you’re taking longer than 50 minutes in the gym (not counting your warm-up), then you’re making friends, not training. In fact, if you’ve got loads of fat around your belly button, I recommend keeping your workouts to 30 minutes or less! Now, this should not be a walk in the park; it needs to be 30 minutes of high-quality training with no interruptions, no texting, and no checking out the resident hotties. The reason I recommend shorter workouts for burning belly fat is because many people have a problem with high circulating levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol is an important hormone for the body at certain times of the day, but excess amounts of it can create fat stores right above your beltline. Long workouts can cause cortisol levels to go haywire, which is counterproductive to getting a lean midsection. I recommend 3-4 short-and-sweet weight-training sessions per week along with a few intense interval training sessions sprinkled in. Keep all your training sessions to under 30 minutes and you’ll be sporting a six-pack in no time!
