Many of us know how tough it can be to get rid of those extra pounds in the belly area! This new study found that vigorous aerobic exercise, such as jogging or brisk walking was more effective for getting rid of belly fat then lifting weights. ''If you are overweight or mildly obese and want to lose fat -- belly fat, visceral fat, liver fat -- vigorous aerobic training was better than resistance training," says researcher Cris Slentz, PhD, an exercise physiologist at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C.

The study focused on 416,000 adult Taiwanese and their exercise habits and monitored them for eight years. The study revealed that those people who exercised at a moderate intensity level prolonged their lives for up to three years. Keep in mind that moderate intensity exercise means a good, brisk walk. And, it is important to remember that 30 minutes of exercise for most days of the week is still recommended by the World Health Organization. But it's good to know that if you can't fit in an entire 30 minutes every day, you can fit in a brisk 15 minute walk and enjoy incredible health benefits.
