Keeping belly fat at bay will not only help you stay in shape, but it'll also help prevent certain health risks. If you didn't already know, carrying around too much belly fat—aka visceral fat—is linked to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and more. Taking just the right steps to ditch it is imperative, which includes sticking to a diet that's high in protein, decreasing stress in your life, staying away from sugar-packed foods and trans fat, eating at a calorie deficit, and performing productive workouts. We have you covered with the fitness part of the equation and rounded up five of the best strength exercises to lose that top layer of belly fat.

I recommend choosing compound movements that target multiple muscle groups and performing your strength exercises at least three times a week to maximize your results.
If you're looking to lose that top layer of belly fat, start performing these five strength exercises ASAP. Aim for 3 to 4 sets of the following.

With your core tight and your lats pulled down, lift the bar off the ground, squeezing your glutes hard at the top of the movement. Lower the bar back down to the floor, and get tight with your setup again before performing another rep. Complete 3 to 4 sets of 6 to 8 reps. Read More...
