If getting a leaner belly is one of your goals, press play and do this Jillian Michaels workout. Although you can't spot reduce fat from your tummy, Jillian told POPSUGAR that you can reduce your overall body fat percentage and that will reveal a slimmer belly.

"Exercising is one way to reduce body fat. You'll want to condition the muscles under the fat so when you lose that top layer, your tummy is toned," Jillian explained. She recommends focusing on functional exercises that work multiple muscle groups like mountain climbers and planks, and this belly fat workout designed by Jillian that comes from her new app, My Fitness by Jillian Michaels, has both!
