Removing the "Flab"

In my gym here at home, I get a lot of people asking me how they can get rid of that small "pudge" below their belly button and around their inner thighs.

Some instructors, personal trainers, and magazines will give you bull crap about being able to "spot reduce" around particular areas to remove the small amount of fat deposited there. This is a lie and a myth.

First off, it is true that your muscles will burn fat, but not necessarily in a specific area. That's up to your predetermined genetics, and how your body mobilizes fat for energy.

Doing more of an exercise in a particular body part simply makes the muscle bigger and leaner. Unfortunately, if you still have fat over it, the muscle will get bigger, and your fat will still remain over it. You will still keep your flab and softness, but you'll have a bigger muscle under it.

To lose the fat, you must marry good training and good nutrition. Once you lose the fat, the lean muscle underneath will be revealed.
