A large amount of fat around the abdomen may indicate an increased risk of dangerous conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
Express reports on how to get rid of abdominal fat.
Why is belly fat bad
Belly fat is bad because it likely means you have too much visceral fat - the type of fat that surrounds your organs.
While a certain amount of visceral fat is necessary for organ protection and insulation, the excess is linked to deadly diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer.
Excess visceral fat typically manifests as a large abdomen.
Fortunately, there are certain exercises aimed at eliminating unwanted belly fat.
How to get rid of belly fat
One of the most effective ways to shed unwanted belly fat is through high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
These workouts involve short bursts of high-intensity or "explosive" exercises followed by brief recovery periods, often repeated several times within a 20-30 minute session.
This is particularly good news for people with limited free time, as HIIT workouts can be done in quick, short bursts and don't require a gym membership.
A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2022 found that this form of exercise "increases fat burning more than aerobic exercise."
Researchers from the University of Victoria in Australia explained that HIIT offers many benefits not only during the workouts themselves but also by enhancing fat burning during other physical and daily activities.

Additionally, according to the source, HIIT can be important for improving metabolic health and combating obesity.
Some HIIT exercises that you can try at home include:
- Mountain climbers
- High knees running in place
- Squats
- Jump lunges
- Burpees
- Plank
- Bicycle crunches
- Push-ups
