On a daily basis I have clients come to me and ask " Can you help me with this" ( as they point to an area of their body that they don't like, belly, thighs, butt) or say as they point, "I just want to focus on this, this area is my problem".
I then try to explain that we all have areas or parts of our body that we don't like that are just our genetic make-up ( we got our mom's giggly legs or our dad's small biceps, or grandma's big rear-end!).
We can listen to the late-night infomercials and buy the latest abs-roller or push-up machine, but this is not going to do anything but "burn" a hole in your pocket, not burn fat off your abs or build your chest!
A well- rounded exercise program consists of training all muscle groups. The abs or thigh or chest muscles, which ever your problem area may be, can be strengthened, but weight or fat loss comes from the body as a whole and not just the areas that are exercised.
The real way ( no matter what you hear on TV) to minimize fat in one specific area is by cleaning up your diet and dedicating yourself to a complete and consistent total-body program. There are no short -cuts but with some hard work, and commitment you can improve the overall look of your "entire" physique.
