Losing Fat is Like Draining a Swimming Pool...Why Spot Reduction Just Doesn't Hold Water

By Nick Nilsson Want to lose stomach fat? Have a problem area you want to tighten up?The bad news is simply training that area to death won't accomplish it! Learn why spot reduction doesn't work and what you CAN actually do about those problem areas. "How can I lose my gut?" "How do I stop my arms from flapping in the wind?" "How can I get rid of this stomach fat?" "How do I lose just the fat on my thighs?" These are questions I hear regularly...the bottom-line question being asked is "how can I lose fat from one specific area?" And I'm sorry to say, the quick answer is... "You can't." But don't panic! Just because you can't spot-reduce from one specific area doesn't mean you'll never lose that fat! It just means you have to look at things a bit differently when it comes to fat loss. THAT is where the pool I mentioned comes in. I would love to give credit to the person who I burgled this analogy...
