The problem for many people is that it is much easier to gain weight than to lose it. When we have been a bit careless about our diet for too long, at some point we have to start thinking about the best way to reduce abdominal fat. Now that the fat is there it's really hard to get rid of for most people. You need to be stubborn, because the fat sure can be stubborn.

Eating less healthy meals and being lazy is far too easy. Imagine if you just took the opportunity everyday to do all the simple things to get exercise. For example taking the stairs instead of the elevator as well as walking your kids to school as opposed to taking the family car.

Many of us have jobs where we sit down the vast majority of the working day and get little or no opportunity to get up and move. All these factors results in one important thing - fat storage.

If you feel stressed out, overweight and not in charge of your physique you will need to make a change and take action. But exactly how do you do it when you don't have time to exercise? After coming home from work and putting the children to sleep it's too late in the evening and you may be too tired to exercise. The following tip is what you can do during the day, at your job or anywhere else, in order to gradually start shedding belly fat.

Limit Insulin Release

Insulin is a storage hormone and it can be minimized just by eliminating sudden jumps in blood sugar. This is done simply by eating more often. Basically what you do is that you fuel your body more evenly during the day and therefore your sugar levels will become more stable. Snacks are necessary and very important as they will help you to reduce blood insulin release. In addition you ought to drink lots of water, when possible with lemon in it (or some other citric juices).

Work Your Muscles - Briefly

There's a technique that everybody can do several times a day just before you eat. For best effect you should do it after you have eaten too. So what is it that you need to do then? Leg squats - with your body as the only weight!

⇆

Do squats for 60 - 90 seconds just before each meal and do as much after you have eaten. Why? Since it brings blood sugar transporter (GLUT-4) to the surface of muscle cells meaning opening more gateways for the energy to flow into. This is helping you, given that the more gates we've got open before insulin activates the same GLUT-4 on the fat cells the more we could place in muscles as opposed to fat!

⇆

If you want to go all-in trying to bring even more GLUT-4 to your muscle cells you can include a tricep exercise to the "work out". Extend your arms against a wall and do a push-up movement towards the wall. This will engage your arm muscles as much as required.

It may seem hard to do these kinds of exercises both before and after every meal. My suggestion to you is to do the squats and triceps exercises on the toilet or any other area where you can keep to yourself.
