From my experience steps alone is not a good benchmark indicator. I have seen many maintain about 10-15k steps per day but their calorie count is only 200-300!

I would suggest to track your calories count instead our steps and workout timing. Hence many finds jogging is one faster way of increasing calorie count for a shortest exercise timing.

Resistance training helps as well, since one continue to burn even through out the day, where body repairs and builds muscles.

My hubby has knee problem as well, hence he had switched to indoor cycling, it helps as well, but need to prolong the exercise timing to burn the same amount of calories. Running 30mins burns around 400 calories (rounded up some numbers, it all depends on how high your heart rate is)

Hope that helps, all the best

basically calorie deficit.

it's the most natural way to burn excess fat in your body. also strength training helps to convert fats into muscle. watching your diet is also essential.

walking alone is insufficient to burn your daily calorie intake - unless you really measure to the dot and you are confident that your walking is burning > intake.

conditioning workout works too. combine a couple of exercise together to make it more effective.

high protein diet, less carbs / oil / fats / trans fat / processed food is essential to this build up. also perhaps can consider some probiotics for the stomach and gut health.

it is a long process but just never give up on the motivation - keep yourself disciplined and you will reap the rewards eventually.

i can see a few experienced guys commenting but usually those that ask this type of questions are seeking for shortcut or easy way such as those nonsense crunches & drink lemon juice in the morning kinda BS.

LOL! and yeah TS went missing after posting!

How old are you ts?

May i suggest go for lab test and get your testosterone level check?

You may also suffer from below average testosterone level.

It is quite common in male age 35 above.

But sometimes even young male adults too suffer the same low T problem. Possibly due to diet, sedantary lifestyle, etc.

maybe start with 3 simple steps:

1. Keep yourself active, maybe start with walking/ step counts. Try at least average of >10k to 20k steps a day consistently.
2. Calories deficit, reduce calories intake based on your current BMI consistently of course having healthier option.
3. Back to point 1, cardio, basic work out, spend more time outdoor not only for physical well being, but to improve your mental health as well.

I've doing above consistently for some time, average 20k steps a day, 4 days of gym, 30%< calories deficit almost daily and keep yourself busy.

cut half calorie intake and workout at least 30 minutes daily over 1 year to be realistic

For men, belly fat is the last stubborn fat because most adipose tissues are at there.

And losing belly fat takes much time (!) and consistency. It's important to stay dedicated to your fitness and nutrition plan, as well as to be patient with your body's natural processes.

Hi tkn0811

There are many great suggestions here with regards to exercising for weight loss and maintaining a daily caloric deficit.

It would be wise to also address the root cause for belly fat which could be higher levels of cortisol in your body - consider working with your circadian rhythm, getting enough high quality sleep, avoiding stressful people/situations etc. to lower your body's cortisol levels.

Belly fat will leak at belly button, acupuncture and suction cup on belly button will extract the belly fat
