Contrary to what you might think, getting rid of the belly bulge is all about diet and cardio, rather than strength-training exercises that target the abdominals. This is because belly bulge results from excess body fat, not lack of muscle. The best way to reduce the bulge is therefore to reduce your body fat, and we all know what that requires, cardio, cardio, cardio!

It is possible to carry extra water weight in your tummy. To get rid of this: try increasing your water intake and cutting your sodium intake to 1,500 mg a day. This will help you reduce the spongy appearance of belly fat as well as that extra water retention.

It comes down to consistent cardio workouts and healthy eating. Stick with it, it’ll come off. Just keep at it and be patient with yourself.
