........ Is it possible to get rid of this??? Really????

I'm starting Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred along with the 30 Day Squat Challenge. I've been told that Jillian will help me loose my dreaded tum, does anybody else have any muffin top removal tips?

    Spot Reduction Myth

    Contrary to what the infomercials suggest there is no such thing as spot reduction. Fat is lost throughout the body in a pattern dependent upon genetics, sex (hormones), and age. Overall body fat must be reduced to lose fat in any particular area. Although fat is lost or gained throughout the body it seems the first area to get fat, or the last area to become lean, is the midsection (in men and some women, especially after menopause) and hips and thighs (in women and few men). Sit-ups, crunches, leg-hip raises, leg raises, hip adduction, hip abduction, etc. will only exercise the muscles under the fat.
