How to Do Cardio to Remove Fat From the Face

While many strive to lose weight to slim their bodies, another aspect of weight loss is slimming down your face. The only way to really lose excess poundage on your face is through cardio workouts and generally being healthy. While reducing facial fat is possible, it's important to remember it can take some time, so sticking to a cardio plan even if you don't see immediate results is essential to dropping that weight.

Instructions

    • 1

      Begin cardio workouts based on your level of activity. If you aren't active, start with 20 to 30 minutes of cardio such as biking, running or the elliptical three times a week. If you are active do one or a combination of these activities for a total of 1 hour three days a week.

      Build up to daily 30-minute workouts five times a week by the third week if you are starting from the bottom and working your way up. If you started at 1 hour of cardio, simply up this to 1 hour five times a week.

    • 3

      Start building up to hour-long workouts at week five. This may be a week-long process, as you can add 5 or 10 minutes to your time daily, but the goal is to be able to do 1 hour of cardio by the end of the week. Continue as you are if you are already at 1 hour of cardio.

      Consume a balanced and low-fat diet. While cardio will boost weight loss, you don't want your diet to undo all of that work. Avoid fast food, high-fat foods and greasy meals. Dine on lean proteins such as chicken, beef, tofu or eggs and tons of different fruits and vegetables.

    • 5

      Cut out alcohol. Alcohol not only adds tons of calories to your daily intake and can make you bloat in your midsection, but it can also make you bloated and puffy in the face adding to the look of fat around the facial area.

      Continue with cardio workouts until you are happy with the weight loss around your face. Once you've reached your goal you can allow yourself to indulge in comforts such as fast food or alcohol, just don't make them mainstays in your diet and strive to workout three to five times each week.
