Spot Training Posted: 02-06-04 22:39pm


Spot training does not work!!!! Spot training is working out a specific area to try and decrease its "size". Spot training is one of the big fitness myths. It is like taking your car to the mechanic and asking him to make your gas tank only burn gas from the right rear corner of your gas tank. The only way to reduce the fat deposits in your face is to lose weight. Your body will lose this weight proportionally throughout your whole body! Good luck!!

Sarcasm as per usual eric dear, i do believe that you can reduce weight by toning & exercising for specific areas but not for the chin or face - that needs overall weight loss or liposuction etc. As to my reasons thoughts on why/how you can spot reduce weight - they're not relevant to this thread.

Fine then start your own thread where that topic is relevant - which as I said it is not here! This thread asked about spot reducing weight on chins & faces & as I said spot reducing in those areas is not possible except by say liposuction or facelifts etc.

Tootsie-there is no way to spot reduce..Sad but definetly true... Sounds like your just gaining weight in general- not to sound harsh. People who you hear of working on there arms one day legs the next, yes they are working certain muscle groups , but they aren't actually spot training, per say, they are also doing cardio along with it to get the disired look they want to achieve, so nope you cannot spot train, just rethink your diet/ excercise

Different views as you have pointed out when it's suited you are what ehealth is about - so I am entitled to have a different view to you & what's more i'm entitled to express my views even when I dare to disagree with you!!

If you work one specific part of your body then that part of your body will get in shape/get smaller. Maybe not a drastic change unless you loose a bunch of weight all over, but it definately will work.
