What Exercises Burn the Most Belly Fat? These 20 (and Here's a 40-Minute HIIT Workout Using Them)

Although it's impossible to spot-reduce certain parts of your body, when you lower your body fat percentage, those areas will start to lean out. If belly fat is an area you are trying to target, while healthy eating is key, there is one type of exercise proven to diminish belly fat: high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

David Chesworth, an ACSM-certified personal trainer and wellness coach at Hilton Head Health, told POPSUGAR that a combination of HIIT and the right nutrition plan can help reduce belly fat. Bodyweight and dumbbell moves are great exercises you can use in HIIT workouts. You just need to focus on working hard for a certain amount of time, followed by a period of rest, and then repeat.

Not sure how to start? If you're sweating it out at home, here's a basic HIIT workout plan you can use. Just modify it based on the moves you prefer and the body parts you want to target (example moves are listed below). ACE-certified fitness instructor John Kersbergen suggests that doing HIIT workouts that combine strength-training moves three to four times a week is enough to start seeing results.

40-Minute HIIT Workout

Equipment needed: One pair of light dumbbells and one pair of heavy dumbbells

Directions: Choose what four exercises you want to do (two bodyweight moves and two dumbbell moves). Perform each exercise for 40 seconds followed by a 20-second rest. Repeat the four-minute circuit 10 times for a total of 40 minutes.

Time	Exercise
Minute 1: 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest	Bodyweight cardio move
Minute 2: 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest	Dumbbell exercise (low weight, high rep)
Minute 3: 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest	Bodyweight strength-training exercise
Minute 4: 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest	Dumbbell exercise (high weight, low rep)

Here are some examples of each:

Bodyweight cardio exercise	Dumbbell exercise (low weight, high rep)	Bodyweight strength-training exercise	Dumbbell exercise (high weight, low rep)
Burpees	Alternating forward lunges	Push-ups	Deadlifts
Jump squats	Seated Russian twists	Air squats	Thrusters
