Jeremy Ethier: Targeting Belly Fat Is POSSIBLE?! (60-Day MRI Experiment)
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Combine cardio and ab training: Perform 25 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio followed by weighted ab exercises (e.g., crunches, reverse crunches) every other day to target belly fat.
- Use weights progressively: Increase the weight or reps for ab exercises (4 sets each for upper and lower abs) every workout to maximize fat mobilization and muscle growth.
- Track progress accurately: Use MRI scans (if accessible) to measure fat thickness and ab muscle changes for precise results.
- Focus on consistency: Stick to the workout plan without missing sessions, as belly fat loss is slower compared to other areas.
- Be patient with lower belly fat: Lower belly fat has a higher ratio of alpha-2 receptors, making it slower to burn off compared to upper belly fat.

- MRI scans: Used to measure fat thickness and muscle changes with high precision.
Notable Quotes
“Your lower belly fat is thought to have a much higher ratio of alpha 2 receptors, making it slower to burn off.”
Bottom Line
Combine consistent cardio and progressive weighted ab training to target belly fat, and track progress accurately for the best results.
