Add Compound Resistance Training

In addition to HIIT, compound resistance training can help you burn belly fat, explained Mike Turner, NASM-certified personal trainer. Weight training builds muscle, which means you'll burn more calories at rest.

He recommends compound resistance training specifically, which involves full-body weight training, such as squats or deadlifts. "These exercises train the entire body, upper and lower, forcing your body to work to flow blood through your upper and lower body muscles," he told POPSUGAR. "This results in a harder workout and thus burning more calories."
