And I\u2019m going to set the record straight.<\/p>\n<p>The spot reduction debate is raging again and frankly, the truth behind spot reduction is that it\u2019s just NOT possible to get site specific fat loss from doing a particular exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Sure, you can get results using <strong>spot muscle building,<\/strong> if you seek additional shape in a problem area. You\u2019ll need to perform exercises that thoroughly work that area.\u00a0But you can\u2019t lose fat from any area you want.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, doing a million crunches or side bends won\u2019t do the trick to flatten your belly.<\/p>\n<p>And to be completely honest with you, the \u201cscientific research\u201d suggesting you CAN, in fact, lose fat from a particular part of your body is flawed.<\/p>\n<p>Take for example the 2006 study from the <em>American Journal of Physiology<\/em>, that suggested that during exercise, body fat is preferentially used from the area being trained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s what happened\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scientists had male subjects perform single leg-extensions with lightweight for 30 consecutive minutes. They measured blood flow to the fat cells of the working leg, as well as the resting leg, and discovered increased blood flow and breakdown of fat in the exercising leg.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I see TWO major problems here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. It\u2019s NOT practical. Would you seriously do 30 minutes of consecutive single leg extensions to lose fat off your thighs? Ha. <em>Of course not.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>2. They used a very small sample size of males only. Surely you know men and women have different hormonal responses to exercise? And our legs are not built the same way \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>So what is the solution?<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, you CAN spot <strong>train <\/strong>to target a particular body part. But you also have to create a bigger caloric deficit, through diet and exercise to burn more total body fat!<\/p>\n<p>The way I\u2019ve designed <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Trouble Spot Accelerators<\/strong><\/span> is by using a variety of ZERO equipment exercises to target your glutes\/thighs, abs or arms so you can tighten a problem area, look better in your clothes and get lean and defined.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need to use exercises that highly activate the muscle group so you can target that particular spot in just 4 minutes at the end of your workout.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve used these workouts with my clients who are getting real results \u2013 like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5762\" src=\"http:\/\/fatlossaccelerators.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jen-thies.png\" alt=\"jen thies\" width=\"501\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"http:\/\/fatlossaccelerators.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jen-thies.png 501w, http:\/\/fatlossaccelerators.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/jen-thies-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And you can get 14 Day Bonus Trouble Spot Fix PLUS Daily Meal Plans as a free bonus TODAY with the NEW Bodyweight Cardio 500 System.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"14 Day Bonus Trouble Spot Fix + Daily Meal Plans \" href=\"http:\/\/kvidulich.flakv.hop.clickbank.net\/?id=bc500&amp;tid=blog%20\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>14 Day Bonus Trouble Spot Fix + Daily Meal Plans<\/strong><\/a> <strong>&lt;= FREE Bonus Today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s a Trouble Spot Accelerator from my new Trouble Spot Fix manual\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Plug this into the END of your workout.
