What's the best way to lose some belly fat ? I'm thinking of doing more cardio, I do very little. I just lift weights and eat relatively healthy I'm not looking to be a bodybuilder and go hard on a serious diet.
Would 10,000 steps on the treadmill every other day do the trick ? |

It will help, I stopped drinking and have no belly anymore, I reckon the beer causes inflammation and in men that is always going to be around the mid rift. Good luck |

The thing is, you can't target a specific area for fat loss. Even if some fitness grifter is trying to sell you their "belly buster bootcamp" shite.
Fat sits in different areas on different people. You have to lose it overall. Your body decides where it leaves from first. On most men, the belly will often be the last place. |

This. Sure, you can work on toning up a specific area but not target fat loss there. |

Exactly this, its an outdated idea that doing sit ups gets rid of belly fat or doing arm works get rid of arm fat.
Reduce beer/alchol completely.
Start moving more, do light running or long walks. Best way to drop the pounds outside the kitchen. But just reduce your "healthy" food amounts too.
No point in eating healthy if youre eating the same calories.
Calories in vs calories burned |

Hey, this is how I’d do it with clients.
Fat loss is mostly food, so calories and macros matter most.
Keep lifting — don’t stop training heavy.
That’s what keeps muscle on.
I’d just add a couple of incline walks on the treadmill each week.(20 mins) Nothing mad, just steady pace.
Hope this helps

"It's all about diet, you can't outwork a shitty diet.
It's literally 90% kitchen 10% gym."
Echo this 100%. I do lots of aerobic work (running, cycling) and some gym work (mostly weights, resistance). But it matters very little how much I do if I don't cut out the sugary snacks and high carb food. It takes an awful lot if effort to burn of the calories consumed by eating a packet of biscuits.
In terms of diet, one thing I did that proved surprisingly beneficial is I stopped eating bread for a period. Surprising because I did not realise how much bread I actually eat. |

Try it outdoors. I find running on a treadmill impossibly boring, but I enjoy it outdoors - especially once the weather improves a bit and we get more daylight. |

Diet , sleep, low to zero alcohol and quick bursts of cardio regularly. An earlier poster already said you can't target a specific area for weight loss no more than a pain killer can target your head over your leg.
The boring answer is a healthy lifestyle. |
