Hi,
I have a problem area that I desperately need to target. Not sure what it's called, but you know that second set of boobs people get?? How do I target this upper abdominal area? Help please!

    All you can do is work on building muscle in the specific area and lower your overall body fat. You can't say " I don't want flabby arms!" and only lose fat from that area.

    Work on eating clean and doing crunches. Most people already have a great set of abs, they're just covered up by fat. Nutrition is the path to a 6-pack!

    Unfortunately you cannot target an area. Be very good on your calories and CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO :] it will take a while but you will see it slowly disappear with time and consistently working at it :]

    remember:

    Love this, and I really hope this is true.

    Really you have to get your whole body in shape. Work on cardio and overall muscle tone. Eventually you will get there!

    Yeah, can't target a single area. I know what you mean....just lose fat all over and they will eventually go away, plus do cardio and strength training. the most important thing is eating right and burning some calories every day.

    spot reduction is not possible...you probably should commit to an overall conditioning program that builds muscle (muscle helps burn fat) and has a sufficient amount of cardio. I have found great success with P90X....I know the thought of P90X seems intimidating for most people...but it can be modified to fit any fitness level. :-)

    I have those too. :grumble:

    I've been doing lots of time on the elliptical and the 30 day shred and they're slowly shrinking. Slowly. :noway:
