Focus on a Calorie Deficit
Reducing overall body fat requires burning more calories than you consume. Track your calorie intake and aim for a moderate deficit to promote steady fat loss without sacrificing muscle.
Incorporate Cardiovascular Exercise
Activities like running, cycling, swimming, or brisk walking increase calorie burn and help reduce fat all over your body, including your sides.
Add Strength Training
Building muscle boosts your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories even at rest. Include compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and lunges.
Try Targeted Core Exercises
While spot reduction is limited, strengthening your obliques and core muscles can tone the sides and improve overall waist definition. Exercises like side planks, Russian twists, and bicycle crunches are effective.
Reduce Sugar and Refined Carbs
Excess sugar and refined carbohydrates contribute to fat storage. Limit sweets, sugary drinks, and processed foods for better fat loss results.
Increase Protein Intake
