Mistake #9 - Believing you can spot reduce

There is so much education out there and people still believe they can reduce the fat in one particular place such as the; belly, butt, and thigh areas.  There is no such animal as “spot reducing” no matter what the magazines say.  Your body doesn't work that way and can't decide where you will lose the fat.  Trying to reduce the fat in one particular area can also put excessive stress on those muscles and joints you may be targeting by doing too much and not strengthening up the the other muscles.


You can spot train but that isn't an efficient way to workout either.  Spot training is what people generally do around spring time and the beginning of summer by trying to strengthen their abs so they look better in their summer clothes and during vacation.  Training your body regularly and as a whole will get much better results quicker, more efficiently and effectively.


Training more efficiently means doing a whole body workout, eating healthier and decreasing your body fat percentage.  When you decrease your body fat and increase your metabolism, you will start to see the fat decrease.  You can strengthen up the muscles but as long as you have body fat covering the area you will not see those muscles.  Do yourself a favor, stop trying to fix one part of you and work your whole body.  Stop wasting your time year after year with the magic pills, creams and quick fix ideas.  


If you have been trying to do this on your own for years, why not do it differently this year and hire a professional.  Get results and get healthy.
