You have no idea how many times a day I used to have to do the above speech when I worked in the gym.

I can only imagine - must get tedious

However I thought if I put it out there it gives you some hope that people may listen if a boy says it! lol!

I love you for typing it actually! I gave up saying it because it made me twitch.

Now, if you could just write up a piece about not being able to spot-reduce...

Will · 13-02-2009, 11:34

Well you can't - there!

There are a lot of interesting articles out there for stubborn areas, but fat loss plateaus and always will, but it's throughout the body. There are some people depending on their geneology that will hold fat in parts of their bodies that they cannot control. For example belly fat in men is often associated with cortisol, love handles is often associated with insulin resitivity (carb intollerance), and estrogen imbalances cause thigh & chest fat retention, but ultimately if the diet and exercise is right the excesses and imbalances will iron themselves out as part of the process - but THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE BODY. There's no such thing as spot reduction, end of.

Imagine aspiring or a pain killer, it doesn't "target" pain at all. It gets absorbed into your blood stream, and blocks the production of prostaglandins which reduces the pain signals being sent to your nervous system. So in fact it's affecting your whole body not just the "area" of pain. Fat reduction is the same, the diet and exercises affects your body as a whole, and wil never affect a spot area. The only time things are affect by spot areas are direct intervention, i.e. operations or medical intervention. Other than that you will not be able to reduce areas in one area alone.

Excellent. Now I just have to get it printed on a t-shirt and point to it when people ask!

Will · 13-02-2009, 13:09

Our Pump instructor hammers this point home so often that it's ingrained on my brain, yet there are still ladies (usually the ones with their faces plastered in make-up and their hair all beautifully done) who won't take bigger weights or really push themselves because they "don't want to get too muscley". I take probably the heaviest weights out of all the ladies in my class and have been doing it for nearly 2 years now. My bingo wings have reduced substantially and my bum is getting firmer, but I'm hardly a rippling bodybuilder and never ever will be. I'm a laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaady
