As a weight loss and fitness coach I am often
asked what is the most frequently asked question

So, here it is:

"Can you give me an exercise to help me get rid of the
FAT around my [???????]

Note: You fill in the [???????] eg abdomen, hips, thighs,
butt, upper arms etc.

"If I could wave a magic wand to make 'spot reduction' of
fat possible, I would be a very wealthy man!

Unfortunately, targeting fat burning to a specific area of
the body is impossible. Our individual genetic make-up
dictates where the fat comes off our body when we
exercise or change our dietary habits.

The 'Spot Reduction' myth has been around for years. It
seems so plausible. You know someone who used to have a
fat tummy but since they have been doing all those
abdominal crunches at the gym, as if by magic the fat is
gone and you see lovely muscle instead.

It stands to reason; surely all those abdominal crunches
have melted the fat from their abdomen? No they haven't.
Impossible - Period!

What has happened in this example is that in addition to
the 'abdominal crunches, this person has either done
'aerobic' exercise eg walking, running, rowing, or they
have made changes to their dietary program or in all
likelihood they have done both.

As a result fat has been burnt from around their body in
general and that has included from around their abdomen".

in summary, they have great looking Abs because of a
combination of aerobic exercise, changes to their dietary
habits and lots of abdominal crunches. Sorry but there is
no short cut!
