How long should I run every day to lose belly fat?
I intend to go running every morning, or later in the day if I have work in the morning. How long should I run for each time? I really want to lose my belly fat. I’m 22, 5’6 and I weigh 123lbs. I don’t look fat, but I want to have a flat belly.
i had the exact same issue with stomach fat. I would not recommend runny everyday, but everyother day, i wouldnt worry about distance so much as time. i would recommend maybe 20 min. of a steady-paced run, STAY HYDRATED. on the days off (if your focus is belly fat) do some sit ups or push ups (although push ups are primarily a chest, arms, shoulders, and back workout; it elongates your upper abdomen giving you a mild ab workout.)
hope this helped
I dont think you should go running every morning try this out

You need to do ab work like crunches and stuff. And get a fitness ball.

Jogging is an OK way to lose fat. But, its not the best. The best way to do High Intensity Interval Training. That is jogging for a minute or so, followed by a 30 second full out sprint…followed by one minute of jogging, then 30 seconds of sprinting, and so on….
Adding weight training will help also. This will help you gain muscle which will bump up your metabolism.
Ab work will do nothing for your fat loss. It doesn’t matter how many situps you do…..no one will be able to see the six pack under the fat!
It’s not about how much you run, but how hard you run. The more intensity you put into running, the more calories you burn which in turn will burn pounds of fat. Take in account that you need to reduce calories or it’ll be a wasted effort.
Also take advice from what the guy above said. Sprint for 30 seconds. Rest for about a minute. Sprint for 30 seconds again.
