Question: Is spot reduction of fat possible if I do a lot of
high repetition abdominal work such as sit-ups or ab crunches?
A: No. While it has been shown that there is a very minor
amount of spot reduction of fat during abdominal exercise it is such a small
amount that it would be impossible to notice. A better method of reducing body
fat is to eat a healthy diet of lean meats, vegetables, whole grains and an
appropriate amount of healthy fats such as fish, olive and canola oils while
using a training routine consisting of maximum effort multi-joint exercises
such as barbell squats, leg presses, bench presses and dead lifts. These
exercises train the large muscle groups of the body. Since it takes a sizable
amount of calories to fuel these muscles, you will lose much more fat with
these movements than endless amounts of abdominal training.
