How To Spot Reduce Body Fat?
Psych! The answer is you can’t but that title was the test. If you thought it was true you are worng and NEED to read this.
Wherever the fat is on your body, it belongs to your whole body. As you start to lose pounds and head back to a healthy weight, your body – and not you – will decide where on your body the fat disappears from.
Sit-ups will not cause you to lose abdominal fat. Leg raises won’t cause you to lose thigh fat. Sorry. Believe me, I wish it were true!
There really isn’t much you can do about where your body decides to store excess fat on your body either. This is due to a genetic factor. For example: Women tend to accumulate fat in their hips, buttocks, and thighs. Whereas men tend to collect abdominal fat.
To say you can specifically target and then “spot reduce fat” is another diet myth. So the answer to getting rid of the excess fat in your trouble areas is to get back down to a healthy weight. Accrue a caloric defecit with proper nutrition, trian with weights, and jog or walk.
Overly Simplified?
