The Spot Training Myth

There are so many programs and fitness equipment that are advertised to make the viewer believe that they can spot train fat off of a certain area. However this is false, fat is not lost by doing exercises that are geared toward building muscles. You must understand that when you lose weight you cannot pick the areas your body will lose weight from even though we would all like to.

So what can you do then?

• The most common false advertisement is that you can lose stomach fat by doing abdominal exercises. If your stomach happens to be an area where you need to actually lose fat, abdominal exercises will not work. This is because abdominal exercises are meant to strengthen and build muscle; they don’t help you lose fat.

• If you are looking to loose fat then concentrate on cardio exercises such as jogging, cycling, or swimming.

• Change your eating habits and keep track of your caloric intake. Based upon your activity level, your current weight, and your height you can calculate how many calories you should be eating to lose weight.

• If you want to see improvement in your stomach area or your thighs then you are going to have to lose weight all over your body.
