Can you spot target fat?

You can't spot-reduce fat by working a single muscle group — fat comes off where it comes off, and a calorie deficit plus patience is the only way.

Can you spot target fat?

Check this out!! Super hot topic question.

Can you spot target fat by working out one muscle group?

Example: If I do abs every day will I get a 6 pack? Example: What's some good inner thigh workouts for my legs so I can lose some fat there? Example: I want to lose my gut, what exercises do I need to do to accomplish this?

So can you spot target fat? That is the question.

The answer is no!!!

You can not spot target fat by finding exercises to work that muscle group. Fat will come off your body as it comes off and some areas take longer than others.

For example, a male will lean out in his arms and legs first but his mid section is the last to go. For women the legs and butt may be the last to go as they have higher estrogen levels and tend to carry more fat in their hip, butt and thigh area.

Also everyone will lose it differently depending on hormone levels and many other things that can affect fat loss.

The best way to lose fat is to be in a calorie deficit and have patience.
