While weightlifting may not burn as many calories as Cardio, it offers other significant benefits such as building muscle, burning more fat, and improving metabolism over time. So, can weightlifting reduce belly fat?

Many people exercise with the primary goal of achieving a slim and flat waist, hoping that belly fat will disappear while the chest remains full and toned. In reality, there is still no scientific evidence to prove that any specific exercise can target fat loss in certain areas of your body. According to the Rush University Medical Center, the best way to reduce belly fat is by maintaining a balanced diet and incorporating supplementary exercises to reduce fat throughout the entire body.
