I see so many workouts that claim to burn fat specifically in the abs or the thighs. I have always been told that spot reduction is a myth and that you lose fat from your whole body at once. Is there any truth to these targeted fat loss claims?
I have been doing a lot of crunches hoping to see my abs more clearly but I am starting to think that I just need to get my overall body fat lower. I am in the US and I am trying to be as scientific as possible with my training and nutrition.
What has been your experience with losing fat in stubborn areas? Do you find that it just takes time and a consistent deficit or are there specific strategies that can help? I would love to hear your thoughts on this common fitness myth and what actually works.
