Fat loss happens when you consistently maintain a calorie deficit, which is when you burn more calories than you consume. Over time, this deficit leads to overall fat loss, including from your midsection. The key is to focus on activities that help boost your calorie burn and are sustainable for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardio exercises such as running, cycling, and swimming are excellent choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They elevate your heart rate and burn many calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC11672165\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-intensity interval training (<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/calisthenics-hiit-workout\/\">HIIT<\/a>), which alternates between bursts of intense effort and short recovery periods, is another effective method.
