What is Spot Reduction?
Spot reduction is any program or equipment that promises to help you get rid of fat in one particular area of the body. The most popular devices promise to eliminate excess fat from the thighs or stomach region simply by working on the muscles in that particular area. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work for one simple reason – the fat in a particular area isn’t governed by the muscles in the same area.
Why Spot Reduction Doesn’t Work
Unfortunately, doing nothing but stomach crunches won’t reduce the amount of fat located in your stomach area, although it will certainly make your abdominal muscles stronger. This doesn’t mean, however, that the fat there will magically turn into muscle. Spot reduction doesn’t work because every person has a genetic selective pattern in which they lose weight, which is why some women may experience notable weight loss in their face first while others may experience notable weight loss in their arms or other area of the body.
The differences between men and women are also noticeable; men are more likely to gain wait in their abdominal region while women often gain weight in their gluteal region. If we could reduce fat in specific areas of the body, both men and woman would surely find it easier to reduce the fat where they need to most, but instead women particularly find it difficult to lose weight in the gluteal region.
So How Can I Lose My Tummy Fat?
The only way to work towards losing the fat in a particular area is to exercise all parts of the body with a balanced fitness routine comprising of cardio, strength training and stretching. Because of us are different, there is no way to predict where the fat we’ve gained will be eliminated first, as only our genetic selective patterns can control it. Cardio can help fight fat by raising the heart rate and the metabolism, which controls how quickly calories are burned.
In addition, strength training can also help raise the metabolism, as well as builds strong muscles, and the more muscles you have, the more calories will be burned. Stretching complements these disciplines by keeping the muscles relaxed and protects the joints. Personal trainers in Northport know that combining a balanced exercise routine with a healthy diet is the best way to fight off fat in any area of the body and will certainly help prevent the fat from coming back.
