Burning Unsightly Belly Fat
by Dr. Kareem Samhouri author of Double Edged Fat Loss

Burning ugly belly fat is most easily accomplished through compound movements. Many people make the mistake, when lifting weights for weight loss, of choosing simple, single joint movements that deliver significantly less fat loss benefit. It is imperative that you understand what a compound movement is and what it can do for you if you would like to melt away your midsection.

Compound movements are exercises that use more than one joint. However, the most important compound movements for fat loss include many joints, not just two.

Examples of compound movements for the lower body are:

1) Hang Clean
2) Lunge
3) Squat
4) Sumo Walk
5) Farmer's Walk

Examples of compound movements for the upper body are:

1) Push Ups
2) Pull Up
3) Inverted Lat Row
4) Curl and Press

Examples of whole body compound movements are:

1) Hang Clean and Press
2) Burpee
3) Squat Thrust
4) Moving Plank with Triple Push Up
5) Lunge with a Chop/Reverse Chop Pattern

If it is your goal to lose weight, decrease stubborn body fat, and improve your metabolism, you will see better results with movements that require increased metabolic demand at multiple joints. When thinking about altering your metabolism, it's important to realize that you are affecting many local metabolisms, thereby changing your global metabolism over time.

It is through increased metabolic demand over a period of weeks or months that you can affect your metabolism on a more permanent basis. As Wolf's Law says, "your body will respond to the stresses or demands placed upon it." If your body is demanding higher energy production due to increased activity at many joints throughout your body, your body will adapt to this and begin producing more energy.
