Spot Reduction

Is there such a thing as spot reduction? The honest answer is no. The body doesn´t burn fat in one specific area, but rather as part of a whole metabolic process. Studies on spot reducing have repeatedly shown that it doesn´t work. If you want to lose fat from a particular area, focus on good nutrition and aerobic, fat-burning exercise. However, keep working out the specific areas you're unhappy with to firm and shape the muscle underneath the fat. This way, as you get leaner, the area will look 100% better than if you didn't exercise while you lost the weight.
