Question 3

What is the recommended approach to warm up before belly fat-targeting cardio sessions?

5–10 minutes of light movement to gradually raise heart rate

A 5–10 minute dynamic warm-up raises heart rate and body temperature gradually, reducing injury risk and preparing muscles for exercise.

Question 4

How does consistent aerobic exercise affect insulin sensitivity in relation to belly fat?

Visible belly fat reduction typically takes 4–8 weeks of consistent exercise and dietary effort, as fat loss is a gradual process.
