I am often asked a question: Do sit ups burn belly fat!?
Unfortunately NO!

To understand why spot reduction may not be effective, it is important to understand how the body burns fat.

The fat in your cells is found in the form of triglycerides, which are stored fats that the body can use for energy.

Before they can be burned for energy, triglycerides must be broken down into smaller sections called free fatty acids and glycerol, which are able to enter the bloodstream.

During exercise, the free fatty acids and glycerol used as fuel can come from anywhere in the body, not specifically from the area that is being exercised.

If you want to burn belly fat some great choices include walking, jogging, running, weight training, interval training etc.
