Answer
Hello Kenny,

First let me start by telling you that you can not spot reduce areas of the body. When you burn fat you can't localize that to just burning belly fat. The best exercise for fat burning is aerobic exercise like walking, riding a bike, aerobics classes, etc. You also need to do weight training to build endurance and tone the muscle. Muscle mass helps boost your metabolism and can aid in fat loss. Don't just plan on doing core exercises; rather focus on large muscle groups such as your chest/back, legs, as well as your core.


You can find multiple exercises in the ACE Fitness Exercise Library. Here is the link to their site.
