10 Best exercises to lose belly fat for women over 40

Walking

A low-impact aerobic activity that can help burn calories and reduce belly fat is brisk walking. Most days of the week, try to get in at least 30 minutes of brisk walking.

Running or Jogging

Jogging or running is a great technique to increase metabolism and burn calories. As you gain endurance, start with shorter intervals and progressively increase the length and intensity.

Cycling

Riding a bike, either outdoors or on a stationary cycle, is an excellent cardiovascular exercise that burns calories to target the muscles of the lower body and reduce body fat in general, including abdominal fat.

Swimming

Swimming works all the major muscular groups in the body, including the core. It's a low-impact workout that can be especially helpful for ladies with joint problems over 40.

Strength Training

Workout routines should include strength training exercises such as lunges, deadlifts, chest presses, and squats. Gaining muscle can increase burning of calories, especially those that are stored as belly fat

Planks

Planks are a good workout for strengthening the abdominal muscles and strengthening the core. For 30 to 1 minute, maintain a plank posture, making sure your body is in a straight line from your head to your heels.

Russian Twists

With your feet flat and knees bent, take a seat on the floor. Raise your feet off the floor and slant your back a little. To work your obliques, rotate your torso from side to side while holding a weight or medicine ball.

Mountain Climbers

Begin in the plank posture and alternate between sprinting and pulling your knees close to your chest. For best results, keep your core active and move at a steady pace.

Bicycle Crunches

With your legs up in a tabletop position and your hands behind your head, lie on your back. Raise one knee to your chest and rotate your torso so that your other elbow is up toward your knee. 

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

HIIT programs alternate short intervals of high-intensity training with rest intervals. This kind of exercise can speed up the burning of calories, including fat from the abdomen, and increase metabolism.
