One of the most fundamental things to help you squeeze belly fat safely is exercising.
And if you wish to get faster results, I highly recommend you take the trained practice of specialized exercise machines. And below are some exercise machines that burn the most belly fat with safety. Check it out!
Elliptical Trainer
Burn rate: 13 calories/minute
I highly recommend this machine for runners who want to stay in race shape with minimum impact on their hips, knees, and ankles.
It is considered to providing the same cardiovascular benefits as the treadmill with little pounding on the joints, according to researchers at the University of Mississippi.
Working out on an elliptical trainer is also an ideal way for people who are nursing an injury that can’t follow their regular physical activities. Another big bonus of this machine is you can freely customize your own programmed exercise routines as it offers a wide range of exercises.
How To Target Your Burn
Once climbing up onto your elliptical trainer, make sure you’ve got the right posture.
Arch your back as much as you can, sit up straight, and kind of sit back a little bit. Then, push through your heels. The sign to know that you’re exercising in the right gesture is nothing is moving besides your legs (and arms, if available).
Level 1: This is for a beginner. Make sure you have already got used to this level 1 before moving into level 2. This section is within 20 minutes – burning nearly 400 calories.
Start with doing 10- to 15-minute warmup to get your joint ready and your mindset right for an insane workout.
Do 4 rounds of 30-second HIIT intervals, between two rounds, lower the gear down, catch your breath fully, and spaced by 90 seconds of low-intensity. This allows you to recover to get ready for the next round.
3 minutes to cool down
Level 2: 20 minutes – nearly 750 calories burnt
Do a 5-minute warmup.
8 rounds of 30-second HIIT intervals and spaced by 90 seconds of low-intensity between two rounds.
3-minute cool-down
Note: During the 8 rounds of 30-second HIIT intervals, go as hard as you can within the given time.

Fan Bike
Burn rate: 14 calories/minute
Cycling on a fan bike is a perfect way to burn belly fat. Averagely, it can burn 300-700 calories per hour.
The reason is this exercise allows you to combine anaerobic zone (HIIT workouts) and aerobic zone (cardio exercises) at a time. Therefore, compared to other kinds of exercise, like running and jogging, it burns belly fat faster.
Cycling on a fan bike is also known to reduce stress, deliver amazing effects on your brain, and tone your buttocks, thighs, and legs.
How To Target Your Burn
Cycling Fan Bike + flutter kicks
Start off on the bike. Pedal as fast as you can for 10 seconds.
Get off the fan bike and do flutter kicks for 30 seconds.
Lay down on the ground. Take your hands, make little fists and then put them underneath your butts to get your body off the ground. This helps to keep your feet off the ground when doing flutter kicks.
Keep your body flat on the ground, lift your legs up to about 3 inches and lift your head up.
Keep your stomach tight, move your right leg up for around 20 degrees while remaining the other still, then, switch the leg position. This is one rep. Do as much and fast as you can. Try to maintain a neutral spine while you do it
Cycling Fan Bike + Jumping Jacks
Pedal as hard as you can within 10 seconds to get the heart rate up.
Jump off and go jumping jacks. Do 15 reps.
Hop back on the bike and again, pedal as hard as you can within 10 seconds. That’s one rep. Do as much as you probably can.
What we are doing here is to have some muscle confusion and to keep your body guessing what’s coming at next. My main focus is just accelerating that heart rate to accelerate the calories burnt throughout the exercise.
Beginner’s HIIT program
Go up on the bike. Do 5-minute warmup at 5-6 intensity.
Next, do 10-minute interval training, including:
- Pedal as hard as you can within 10 seconds (8-10 intensity)
- Pedal slowly and more relaxingly within the remaining 50 seconds (4 intensity) to recover
After the interval training, come to the 5-minute cool-down of 5 intensity.
This section is around 20 minutes. You should do this exercise at least 3 times/week within 6 weeks to see the difference.

Treadmill
Burn rate: 17 calories/minute
Not just belly fat, running on a treadmill helps you cut down the visceral fat under your stomach muscles to hence keep you healthier. According to professor Kerry Stewart of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, running on a treadmill even gives the most effects on your visceral fat that diet can’t do.
If you want to concentrate more on belly fat loss, combining with other aerobic exercises is my advice.
How To Target Your Burn
I’ll show you my favorite workout section on a treadmill that helps burn belly fat really efficiently. It just takes you 12 minutes each section and is recommended doing at least 3 times/week within 6 weeks for the best results.
It includes 6 stations, 30 seconds/station.
1st station – jog, 2 minutes.
For the jog, just go stay on your toes and do a light jog.
Depending on how fast the treadmill is going, try to do a long stride, kick your butt, or if you want a little bit harder, put some high knees or hit the legs, hit your core a little bit, and go side-to-side.
2nd station – left side shuffle, 2 minutes.
Go back and forth. Stay on the toes, hit your calves, and slightly lower your body to hit the quads as well as feel your glutes
3rd station – right side shuffle, 2 minutes
4th station – reverse job, 2 minutes
Hold on to the handles if you are a beginner and work on. Get knees up and make sure you’re kicking your feet back to avoid falling.
5th station – mountain climbing, 2 minutes
Reduce speed.
Put your feet on the side, get down, and post with your hands on the ground nice and straight. Then, get your butt up and go over it.
Bring your knees in as close as you can to the chest and then, thrust them up.
Remember to keep your arms straight and core flexed.
When you’re done, go back to the sides of the treadmill, stand up, and go to the 6th station.
6th station – bear crawl, 2 minutes
Reduce the speed a bit more to get used to this exercise.
Go the sides of the treadmill then, go right into the middle and start the bear crawl. Keep your hands and feet as far out to the edge as you can on the tread.
When you’re done, get up slowly to reduce the risks of hitting your head on the front of the treadmill.
That’s it.

Stairclimber
Burn rate: 12 calories/minute.
As a basic rule of thumb: Losing overall fat is the premise of eliminating belly fat. Well begun is half done, they say. So if you’re just a beginner and not strong, I highly recommend investing in a stair climber to cut down your overall fat safely and quickly.
How To Target Your Burn
Before getting started, make sure you’ve already completed 3 minutes of warmup (begin with ease pace and then, increase one level up after each minute).
Do 3 reps of dynamic stretches on the ground.
Hold the handrail. At 6 RPE, climb as fast as you can at a moderate level for two minutes.
Level up to 8 RPE, try to balance and go off the handrails, keep climbing for two more minutes.
Back to 6 RPE, hold the handrail, do it within one minute.
Now, up to 9 RPE for two minutes with hands off the handrails and then back to 6 RPE, hold the handrails again and take single steps for three minutes.
Climb at 8 RPE for two minutes and then, return to 6 RPE for one minute.
You can repeat this rep as much as you can. Finally, take 1-minute cool down at 6 RPE with hands holding the handrails.

Rowing Machine
Burn rate: 11 calories/minute.
Similar to the stair climber, the rowing machine provides full bodywork to help you lose overall fat quickly. The biggest difference is while the stair climber focuses commonly on the lower body parts, the rowing machine is more about the upper body.
It is a better choice for people who can’t run because this kind of exercise is considered low-impact, said by Lyuda Bouzinova, an ACE-certified personal trainer, fitness nutrition specialist, and co-founder of Mission Lean.
How To Target Your Burn
Static Squat Low Row
Get in a lunge position, make sure to keep knees aligned with your heel, stick your butt out, and keep your chest up.
Don’t forget to maintain your neck parallel and spine a neutral position.
Pull your hands to the armpits and keep your shoulder blades pinched to maintain a static squat position and this position right here without moving anything. Keep your core tight
Oblique Twist "Wood Chopper"
Grab a handle, interlock your fingers, and make a nice-and-tight grip.
Take a giant step, take your toes, and turn them slightly facing away from the machine. Start off in a twisted position to make your entire body twisted.
Your head is going to look in the same direction as your feet.
Breathe out and twist.
When coming back, keep your toes and hips facing forward while maintaining a neutral spine, and breathe in. During the exercise, keep your arms straight.
