Rhonda Patrick: Scientists Discovered the Best Type of Exercise for Burning Visceral Fat (this is it)
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Cardiovascular exercise in the moderate to vigorous intensity range, such as jogging, running, swimming, and cycling, is highly effective for burning visceral fat.
- High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is even more effective than moderate aerobic exercise for visceral fat loss. Consider protocols like Tabata (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off) or circuit training.
- Aim for three hours per week of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise or one and a half hours per week of HIIT for optimal visceral fat reduction.
- Combine aerobic exercise with resistance training to amplify fat loss, improve insulin sensitivity, and maintain muscle mass, especially for postmenopausal women.
- Make exercise consistent to maintain visceral fat loss. Integrate it into your lifestyle as a regular habit.
Bottom Line
Focus on cardiovascular exercise (moderate to vigorous or HIIT) and combine it with resistance training for the best results in reducing visceral fat. Consistency is key.
