4 of 10-minute exercises to lose belly quickly, according to a trainer

If one of your goals is to reduce belly fat quickly, but you’re struggling to make time for it, you’ve come to the right place.

We spoke with Jayne Gomez, personal trainer at Fyt, a leading personal training service that makes fitness under the expert guidance of a certified fitness professional in person (or virtually) comfortable and accessible to everyone.

Gomez gave us the scoop on a daily 10-minute workout you can do to quickly reduce belly fat. After all, it’s very frustrating to have stubborn fat that just won’t go away.

“In the 10-plus years I’ve been in the fitness industry, I’ve found that the fastest way to get rid of belly fat is to have a slight calorie deficit and do HIIT workouts,” says Gomez.

“If you want to take it up a notch and see results even faster, I would do the exercises in the morning on an empty stomach.” For this type of workout to be ultra-effective, Gomez says, you need to take short breaks and make sure your heart rate is up. Gomez recommends bringing a heart rate monitor so you can easily keep track.

Now it’s time to get started. Check out Gomez’s 10-minute workout to reduce belly fat fast. “You’re going to do the next four exercises in a “superset,” which means you’ll do one set of each, then pause for 30 seconds and repeat,” Gomez explains.

Exercise 1: High knees

First, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands in front of you.
Push off with your right leg to touch your right hand with your knee. Return to the starting position.
Do the same with the other leg.
Do 3 sets of 15 reps on each leg.

Exercise 2: Plank Jacks

Lie face down on the floor.
Position your arms so that your shoulders are directly over your elbows, with your wrists aligned with your elbows in a straight line (see image above).Contract your abdominal and gluteal muscles (the muscles that make up your buttocks) and hold the position for as long as you can.
Gradually lengthen the time you hold the position.
Rest for about a minute between reps.
Do 3 sets of 30 seconds each.

Exercise 3: Mountaineers

For this exercise, you need to get into a high plank position.
Continue to bring your left knee toward your chest, then bring it back to the starting position, then do the same thing but with your right knee against your chest, replicating the look of a climbing movement.
Do 3 sets of 15 reps on each leg.

Exercise 4: Knee push ups

You should start in the same position as a push-up.
Then, keep only your knees in contact with the floor as you press up, lifting your upper body.
Come down to the starting position, this will be one rep.
Repeat 15 reps for 3 sets
