You’ve probably told yourself some version of the same story: once the schedule is clear, once life seems like before, once life gets a little less chaotic, then you’ll get back to the fitness routine. You will hit the gym and torch all the belly fat. But here’s the truth – you don’t need a perfect routine to start with. What if you can burn the belly fat at home in just 10 minutes? Sounds like a dream? Well, fitness coach Patrick Hongfit has shared a fail proof 10-minute workout routine that can torch the belly fat. And the best part? You don’t need a gym membership or expensive equipment. 10 minutes is all it takes.
Spot reduction is a myth, but…
Now, here’s the thing. You cannot target belly fat directly because spot reduction is a myth. But the right moves will certainly help tone the targeted area. “Let’s be real—you can’t spot-reduce belly fat. But you can torch calories, boost metabolism, and build core strength with this 10-minute circuit,” the coach said, in a video shared on Instagram.
10-minute workout to burn belly fat
The fitness coach has designed a 10-minute workout consisting of four exercises. No rest between moves, unless you absolutely need it. “Set a timer for 10 minutes. Complete as many rounds as possible,” the coach said.
Squats
The first exercise is bodyweight squats. You have to maintain a good form. Go for 15 reps. “Keep your chest up, squat low, and drive through your heels,” the coach said.
Jumping jacks
This is a classic for a reason. Jumping jacks works on your whole body, and is also a good cardio. “This is going to keep your heart rate up,” the coach said. You will burn more calories with this workout. Do for 30 seconds.
Mountain climbers
For the next 30 seconds, do the mountain climbers. This will engage your core, but good form is crucial. “Keep your core tight, knees to your chest. No cheating,” Pat said.
Plank to knee taps
This is another workout that will increase core stability, balance, and endurance. Crunches simply cannot match this powerful workout. Do 12 reps on each side. Repeat this until the 10-minute timer runs out.
Consistency is the key
While this workout effectively works on your belly fat, it is important to understand that the change won’t happen in a day. You have to show up every single day. Consistency is important. “Do this 3-4x a week along with a proper diet (a calorie deficit), and you’ll be on your way to a leaner, stronger body,” the coach suggested. 10 minutes a day. No excuses. No equipment. Just miraculous results.
