    I may get a lot of crap for this, but I am so tired of people saying you cannot spot reduce.
    Don't listen to these haters, you CAN spot reduce!

    You keep on doing your own thing and say "**** everybody else!"

    How I feel after reading this thread:

    I am not sure what is worse the reactions in this thread, or the thread starter by posting information that is only true if you choose to believe it.

    Oh my goodness...what a mess. I have to say that I understand what the OP was saying. I think she was merely making a statement that there are exercises out there that are more beneficial to certain parts of the bodies over other parts of the bodies. If you have a trouble area, which many of us do, there are exercises that may be better for focusing on that region. I have seen many people ask for advice on which workouts will help them with their trouble areas and instead of offering actual exercises people will just say "You can't spot reduce." Well, yes, you can't choose where your body burns fat from....but if you merely want exercises that work the muscles in a specific spot...then they exist! I have noticed a trend in people on here who are very well informed in the health and fitness area treating other people who may not be like crap just because they don't use the correct words or don't know everything already. There is no point in making someone feel stupid...it is not beneficial to anyone.

    ^^ THIS, YOU HATEFUL PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!

    It's similar to starting a discussion about religion or Santa Claus.

    Santa is real, only if you take the right amount of LSD.

    What if you want to spot-increase your fat?

    That would be awesome: Then there would be no breast implants, you would just muscle through a few pizzas and choke back some haagen dazs and after all your hard work you'd have porn star titties. Instead of tight pants.

    Geez, this thread might be life-changing. If this is how annoying I sound when I'm arguing for my incorrect viewpoint, I'm going to go apologize to everyone I've ever known in my life. Starting with my wife.

    Heh heh heh...:drinker:

    If we can spot reduce, why did I lose the fat off my face first by jogging, while my legs didn't change at all? I think fat distribution is genetically programmed and it goes on and comes off accordingly. I put weight on from the bottom up and take it off from the top down, no matter how much I run on the treadmill or how many squats I do. I'm just now seeing a reduction in my legs after losing more than 30 pounds, most of it off my tummy (without doing any ab work until recently) and my upper body.

    LOL obviously you didn't read the post- running doesn't work! You have to do JM 30 Day Shred to spot reduce! Duh! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Just by looking at your profile pic you must've done thousands of crunches to spot reduce your ab's to where they are now. :laugh:

    Crunches are meh but push ups are an awesome way to warm up for an intense chest workout.
