    Sorry but there is no such thing as an exercise that will target fat loss. You have to lose body fat by creating a caloric deficit. Your body will burn fat from wherever it chooses and it usually comes off in the reverse order it went on.

    During a calorie deficient state, the process is reversed. Genetics also determine which areas your body burns fat from. Though you may want to get rid of your flabby arms or large midsection, the process is exactly the same because there is no way to influence where the body burns fat from. Targeting your midsection with sit-ups or your arms with curls does not force your body to burn fat from those areas. Spot reducing is impossible. A calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight and burn fat.

    I'm a fan of the fork-putdown and farmer-walks with bags full of yummy healthy food from the shops ;)

    Everyone else is right, you can't spot reduce, you need to eat at a caloric deficit to burn fat. Exercise will help.
  • well that's just a shame but makes sense, thanks everyone!
