Step 1: Burn More Calories at Rest
Total Energy Expenditure is your greatest ally against belly fat. You have get your body to use more energy (burn more calories) at rest.
The only problem is: As you get older, the total amount of energy (that’s calories your body burns) when you’re resting decreases.
While lifestyle factors do play a role (stress, sitting around, moving less), the number of calories you burn at rest as you age is determined genetically (thank your parents).
There are ways to “trick” your metabolism.
The right combination of exercises in short succession (I’ll show you these at the end of this article) can trigger an “after burn” effect that lasts for hours, allowing you to burn more calories while you sit on the couch.
