Spot reducing fat doesn't work, and the only way to lose belly fat is by integrating a full-body weight-loss approach. (See Reference 1, p. 10) When your total body fat reduces, your belly will also slim down. The three key elements needed to achieve this are a sensible, reduced-calorie diet, aerobic exercise and strength training. This combination can accumulate the caloric deficit that's required to lose weight. You'll reduce your risk of obesity-related health conditions, and will look and feel better at the same time.
Step 1
Set a realistic goal of losing 1 to 2 pounds per week. Achieve this by creating a daily deficit of 500 to 1,000 calories through exercise and diet. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, most women can lose weight by consuming between 1,000 and 1,200 calories a day, and most men can lose weight by eating 1,200 to 1,400 calories a day. (See References 2)
Step 2
Perform at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, five days a week, to burn calories. (See References 3) Play a doubles tennis, go for a brisk walk, bicycle at a speed that's slower than 10 mph or try ballroom dancing or water aerobics. Exercise at an intensity during which you can comfortably talk, but not sing a song. (See References 4)
Step 3
Incorporate vigorous intervals into your cardio routine on two days. According to the American Council on Exercise, high-intensity intervals effectively reduce body and belly fat. (See References 5) Perform two minutes of cardio of your choice, and then speed up for about one minute and go all out. For instance, walk briskly for two minutes before accelerating into a vigorous, one-minute sprint. Continue to alternate the intensities until you finish your workout.

(See References 3) This deficit can be accumulated through calories burned with exercise, and calories reduced from food.
By making high-intensity interval training (HIIT) part of your arm-slimming exercise routine, you can continue to burn calories and fat up until long after your workout.

During HIIT, you alternate between a vigorous and moderate cardio pace. (See references 3) For instance, walk briskly or jog for two minutes, and then pick up your pace, going into a jog or vigorous sprint for 30 seconds to one minute. Experts recommend exercising at this increased intensity for 75 minutes a we...
