Spot Reduction

This is one myth that baffles me. Spot reduction is the belief in which you can trim off fat from a certain area by exercising that area. Mostly, you can do crunches to reduce the size of your stomach. Well let me just say this is 100% FALSE. Spot reduction does NOT exist/work. Doing hundreds of crunches is also a waste of time. You need to use weight with your abs just like you do with other parts of your body. You also need to work out the different parts of your abs: lower, upper, and obliques. Some exercises that are good for abs are cable crunches, Russian Twists, and decline sit-ups. However, that is not what this article is about. How can you trim off that fat? The key is to have a good diet supplemented with a strong exercise regimen. Good luck and remember that spot reduction does not exist, so start getting on the treadmill instead of wasting time with hundreds of crunches.
