The most important thing you can do to burn fat is eat a healthy diet without eating more calories than you burn on daily basis. Counting calories and eating health isn't always enough, though. You also have to exercise to burn off excess fat. You do not have to exercise for hours a day, though. You can burn belly fat just by exercising for 10 minutes a day. The secret is doing compound exercises that will help you build muscle in quick succession so that your heat rate stays elevated and you get a cardio benefit at the same. You will burn more calories this way than you would by walking or jogging for the same amount of time. The best part is, you don't need any weights or equipment to do this workout.
Step 1
Warm up by lightly jogging in place for one minute.
Step 2
Perform as many pushups as you can in one minute. Do each pushup as fast as you can with good form. It is okay if you have to rest during the one minute, but try to rest for no more than a couple of seconds at a time.
Step 3
Do as many squats as you can in one minute. Do them as fast as you can while maintaining good form, which means keeping your back straight and your feet planted firmly on the ground. Do not over extend your knees past your toes. Rest for a few seconds if you have to.
Step 4
Do as many jumping jacks as you can in one minute. To do a jumping jack with good form, make sure your fingers touch every time you raise your arms over your head. By now you will probably be starting to feel pretty tired, so rest for a few seconds if you need to.
Step 5
Rest for one minute.
Step 6
Repeat steps 2 through 4 again. The second time around the exercises will be much harder, so rest more frequently, but only if you have to.
Step 7
Cool down by lightly jogging in place for one minute.
