Spot Reduction

The spot reduction myth has been plaguing the world for long enough. Simply put, the myth claims that you can reduce fat in an area of your body by working the muscles in that area. IT'S A MYTH. Your body naturally distributes fat to where it sees fit. For men, that'll be around your waist. For women, that'll be around your hips. It's as simple as that. The only way to get six pack abs is to reduce your TOTAL bodyfat to a level such that your abs show through. You cannot get six pack abs by doing thousands of crunches. All you'll have are really strong abs with fat over them. You cannot get six pack abs by hooking electrodes up to your stomach while you watch television. All you'll have is a high electric bill. If you train your abs, you will work the abdominal muscles. You will not burn fat in the abdominal region. Stop being stupid, America!
