Most of my clients who hire me do so because they need help losing fat, particularly in the stomach. Many people struggle with this area, since belly fat is the most frustrating and stubborn part of the body to trim. If losing belly fat is on your fitness agenda, then you need to be doing all of the right things. This means eating at a calorie deficit, getting in some solid cardio, and strength training multiple times per week. You can get rid of a flabby stomach for good with this quick exercise routine, so listen up.

I recommend making weight lifting a priority—so much so that it's the main focus of your fitness regimen. My reasoning is simple. Doing so will burn more calories, help build lean muscle, and elevate your metabolism. When it comes to exercise selection, you need to consistently choose challenging movements that engage your whole body and your core. Doing so will allow you to recruit more muscle fibers and burn more calories than traditional cardio and single-joint movements such as curls and crunches.

Many individuals think they need to train for at least an hour to secure solid results, but you can achieve a great workout in 30 minutes or less. Whether you're strapped for time or simply want to get in a quick workout session to elevate your metabolism and burn fat, this routine is golden. Set a timer for 10 to 15 minutes, and perform as many sets as you can of the following exercises back to back.

Flex your triceps at the top, then lower the weight under control back to your shoulders before performing another rep. Perform 10 reps.
