Myth busted: “Spot reduction” doesn’t work.
Doing endless crunches won’t burn belly fat, and tricep dips won’t melt arm fat. Local exercises build and strengthen the muscle underneath, but fat loss happens across the whole body through consistent training, overall energy balance, sleep, and stress management.
What works:
- Progressive strength training to build metabolically active muscle
- Cardio you can stick with
- Smart programming to avoid injury and stay consistent
- Support with habits that drive results
