Spot shaping vs. spot reduction?
There is no such thing as spot reduction. You cannot exercise a specific area of the body and expect the fat in that area to suddenly vanish. When the body burns off fat it does so from the total body area – not just from the targeted area. When calories are needed from fat storage, the body pulls the calories from its overall storage. Certain areas of the body may release a little more fat for fuel than other areas, but a reduction in bodyfat affects the entire body. It comes about from a change in the caloric equation (more calories spent than taken in), not from performing one specific exercise. Spot reduction is nothing more than a marketing fable.
