ou’ve probably heard that trying to “spot reduce” body fat doesn’t work…Well, let’s clear up a few things on that topic. For example, when you say you want to spot reduce body fat in an area, you’re basically saying you want that area to look “firmer” and less “mushy.” Also, you’re probably looking to reduce the “bulge” you have in the areas you want to spot reduce like your thighs, underarms, and belly. So, here’s the real deal: You actually can spot reduce fat by targeting that area through intense exercise – however, the results of that type of training on spot reduction are so microscopic that it can only be seen in a lab. BUT, you can make those areas that look soft firmer without having to worry about any wild spot reduction methods (also forget about all the fake creams, pills, and wraps…). Any cream, serum, or pill is only a temporary “band-aid” fix to an issue that you can get started on eliminating (permanently) right away. All you have to do is follow the proper anti-inflammatory based nutrition program to increase your health and reduce your weight while boosting your long-term results through metabolic workouts.Here are 3 Great Ways to “Spot Reduce” Fat:
1- Concentrate on working the underlying muscle below your “problem areas.” This will firm up the muscle fiber and create more “tone” even at rest.
2- Improve your posture through activating posterior musculature on the back side of your body. Not only will this allow you to stand up straighter (and therefore flattening out any protruding belly fat) it will make your body look more proportional and sleeker. You’ll also create more of a “V” shape from your shoulders to your waist giving the appearance of a smaller and tighter stomach.
3- Focus your efforts on full body resistant workouts that include both upper and lower body exercises. These high intensity workouts will boost your metabolism and give you the best chance to trim, tone, and tighten your body quickly. Plus, these workouts will stimulate overall body fat reduction which in turn will help with those problem areas.
