Spot Training Myth
A: unfortunately spot training is a complete myth, if you work hard on an area the fat on that area wont shift specifically, your body will draw energy from your entire body and this burns fat, lowering fat percentage. Certain areas will show sooner than others, like deltoids (shoulder muscles) and fat pockets will be more stubborn. In order to see fat percentage go on your problem areas, you need keep going, consistently! This will cause the fat loss to go systematically throughout the body over time and at a point cms will be lost on the problem areas. What you are doing by training a specific area is strengthening and toning that specific muscle so your muscle tone will improve and when the fat does shift on this area, your underlying muscle will be ready to ‘show off’! Always train all areas of your body, in different ways!
