Can I ‘spot reduce’ fat?

          Can I ‘spot reduce’ fat?

                      



This is a question I hear ALL the time and it is time to set the story straight!  

The term ‘spot reduce’ refers to being able to lose fat from a particular part of your body.  Many girls say they want toned tummies or toned arms, and they really are only interested in doing exercises targeting those areas, in the hope  they will become smaller. Doing abs exercises for your belly a few times a week without any other exercise will NOT give you a flat tummy.

 It really is a dreamy fantasy, imagine if we were actually able to spot reduce those areas we don't like so much while keeping the bum and boobs in place! 
I hate to say it but it is NOT at all possible to spot reduce

In order to achieve a toned tummy or leaner thighs, you need to lose body fat and gain muscle throughout your whole body! Your body works as a whole,we can’t pick and choose where fat comes off, the same way we can't choose where it goes on!
Some girls may notice that certain areas of their body tend to lose weight quicker,  this all depends on the individual and genetic makeup, not what exercises that they complete.

Your abs are like the rest of the muscles in your body, you can work and work at them and yes you will build them up but unless you work hard to lose body fat too, you will not see an ounce of definition around your abs!

So stop wasting time trying to spot reduce one area of your body, work your whole body, eat the right foods and focus on shaping your body as a whole, instead of bit by bit.
