Memphis Moms Blog fitness myth
 

“The best exercise to lose belly fat is (insert exercise here).”

 
The truth is, there is no best exercise to lose belly fat.  Fat loss cannot be targeted.  In order to lose belly fat, you have to lose fat all over your body.  Fat loss occurs when there is a calorie deficit.
 
With that being said, you can use targeted exercises to strengthen specific areas and help correct imbalances.

Brittany is a spice FANATIC!  Her grocery list stays the same pretty much every trip.  The way she shakes things up in her kitchen is the way she seasons things.  Flavor God has some of her favorite spices and the ingredients are simple and “clean.”
