Fat is that uninvited guest which comes unannounced and stays for as long as they feel like. Similarly, it is very difficult to get rid of the fat that gets collected at the sides and decides not to leave unless we try a lot harder. It gets pretty challenging to get rid of them.
Side fat is located exactly above the abdominal area and many people think it can be easily dealt with those typical ab workouts. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case as this is the most stubborn and rigid fat you’re talking about. In order to get rid of it, you will be needing to target it precisely. As we all have heard, abs are made in kitchens. It won’t be wrong if we say that yes this statement is true and the abs are undoubtedly made in kitchens.
You can do as many workouts you want to, you get to hit the gym, go for a walk but unless you fix your eating habits, your progress will never be seen. To make that fat go away, you will have to take your diet and workouts hand-in-hand unless nothing will work out for you either way. Start with these easy ways.

What Should Be The Initial Steps Towards Fitness?
Anything that you are planning for yourself will need consistency. As all say, consistency is the key. No matter if it is a workout, diet, or any other routine, you will have to be consistent. Here is where you should start.
Start With Step 1
Start eating lean food, more fiber, and try to eat as much clean as you can. Eliminate oily, sugary and the food which contains too many calories.
Move To Step 2
Cardio can be great as it alone kills most of the fat on our body. Try adding a 30-minute cardio workout session on alternate days. If you feel you can do more than that, start working out for 6 days a week.
Step 3
After following the first two steps, the last and the most important step is to start a focused workout that will work directly on the side fat. This would be the most effective workout to eliminate the side fat that will work along with your clean eating.
