Spot Reduction - Myth Or Effective Way to Spot Tone Butt and Thighs?

Does spot toning or spot reduction really work? Most fitness trainers and fat loss coaches will swear that spot training doesn't work. But the rarely admitted truth is... "Yes, it does." - but only if you are following the right kind of exercise program.

Women of all ages and body types always want to know... "Does spot training really work or is it bogus?"

First lets just clarify the definition, you'll hear words such as spot toning, spot reduction, spot targeting, but they're all pretty much talking about the same thing...

And that's 'doing certain exercises for a specific part of the body to get a direct result in that area of the body...'

Lets take 'spot reduction'... - a woman does a handful of exercises for her legs, butt, thighs or abs - while she's doing the exercises, she feels a warm, 'muscle burn' sensation in the specific area she is working - this warm burn is not the 'fat, cellulite and flab burning off' per se - it's simply the physiological reaction of the muscle to the exercises being done...

It's perfectly normal and to be expected.

Now this burn might not happen all the time - this will depend on the 'fitness' level of the person - whether or not they've done these specific exercises - in this specific order - at this specific tempo, form etc, etc - in the past.

So this 'burn' is not the burning of fat, flab, or cellulite, but if these exercises have been strategically combined and are done according to a simple plan (what's called an 'exercise prescription') - then there is surely and unquestionably going to be an amount of fat - flab and/ore cellulite "burned" as fuel for energy during the workout

And - of course- afterward, as the program itself boosts the woman's metabolism - and keeps it cruising along - for several hours after she has completed her properly structured and yes, spot targeted - no, make that laser-beam targeted, spot training exercise routine.

When women want to know... "Does spot training really work on my most stubborn problem areas?"

The honest and accurate answer is "Yes, it does work - but only if you are doing a program that is put together properly - in other words if you are following a program that is focused on your lower body problem areas and trouble spots - and the program has been designed to get the desired results - then YES - spot targeting works..."

Keep in mind - you can, and may have already, tried certain exercise programs that 'claim' to target specific parts of your body - BUT you were only let-down after several months on the program to find that it didn't live up to it's promises and hype.

And this is where the "Myth of Spot-Targeting" gets it's bad reputation.

If a program claims to get your problem areas into firmly sculpted and sexy shape, but ultimately fails to deliver the desired and expected results then that program is another major strike against the concept of 'spot targeting', by FALSELY proving it doesn't work and is just a myth.

Here's the bottom line on the spot reduction subject.

When done properly - spot targeting works and it works like gangbusters - even better than the best cosmetic surgical procedure for a woman's worst problem areas and stubborn trouble spots.
