Can push-ups reduce belly fat?

There are many ways to reduce belly fat. Some people asked me whether push-ups can reduce belly fat. If you want to lose weight in your belly, I don’t recommend doing push-ups, because push-ups are more about exercising the muscles in our arms, such as the biceps, triceps, etc. Therefore, you should choose other exercise methods to reduce your belly fat. The editor will recommend some methods to you below.

To achieve a perfect starting position for push-ups, your body must be in a straight line from shoulders to ankles, and your arms should be

The hands should be placed at chest level, slightly wider than shoulder width apart. This ensures that each movement works your biceps more effectively.

When doing push-ups, you should take 2 to 3 seconds to fully lower your body, and your chest should eventually be about 2 to 3 centimeters from the ground; then, immediately push up and return to the starting position.

In fact, according to the recommendations of many men who have successfully lost weight, the most effective way for men to lose belly fat is not doing push-ups. Instead, do some abdominal exercises, such as frequently massaging the abdomen to eliminate it. Especially kneading before going to bed can not only help you lose weight and benefit your body, but also help digest food, eliminate constipation and make your abdomen feel comfortable. In fact, pinching the fat areas of the abdomen with your thumb and index finger before getting up in the morning can also help eliminate the beer belly.

However, abdominal fat comes from all over the body. Only if you can exercise your whole body can you really achieve good results in weight loss. Sit-ups are an effective full-body exercise for getting rid of belly fat. In addition, you can also do leg raises by relying on the strength of your waist while breathing. Lie on your back in bed, raise your legs, straighten your knees and bring them as close to your upper body as possible, while inhaling. Then slowly lower your legs under the control of your abdominal muscles to complete the exhalation movement. Repeat this process more than ten times, and the effect is very good. You can also straighten your legs while bending your knees and lifting them up, bringing your thighs close to your abdomen, and practice leg bending exercises. You can also alternately bend and stretch your legs to imitate the brisk and flexible movement of riding a bicycle.

Most of the people who do push-ups are men. They do it mainly to exercise the strength of their arms. This method is not suitable for those who want to reduce their belly. A small belly is a pain for all women, including men, but friends who want to reduce their belly should also use appropriate methods and not do useless work, which will only make themselves more disappointed in the end.
