Most of my clients aim to get in shape and lose body fat. the best way to lose fat is to focus on the basics: strength training regularly, eating a healthy diet, and doing regular cardio. By consistently nailing those three habits, you should be able to shed the fat and achieve the physique you want. (However, depending on their genetics, training history, and routine, some may have a harder time losing fat than others.) Today we are going to talk about the best exercises to get rid of visceral fat quick, but before we do that, let’s first look at the types of fat in your body.
Here is a quick summary. The body houses several types of fatsuch as visceral (the fat that surrounds the organs and can cause serious health complications if it has high levels), subcutaneous (the type of fat that sits just under the skin and what is known as stubborn fat that takes longer to disappear) and essential fat (which is exactly what it sounds like: it’s necessary for your overall health).
Fortunately, visceral fat is easier to lose than subcutaneous fat. One of the best methods to do this is to incorporate HIIT into your routine. You can do HIIT through various cardio activities; here are some examples below that will help you get rid of visceral fat.

If you’re new to the exercise, hold the sled by the handles with your arms outstretched. Push the sled 20 to 40 yards one way, then back, keeping your body at a 45-degree angle to the bars at all times. Keep your eyes on the ground as you push. Rest 2-5 minutes before doing another set, aiming to do 3-5 sets of 20-40 yards each.
