DID YOU KNOW:

That’s right.

There👏🏼Is👏🏼No👏🏼Such👏🏼Thing👏🏼As👏🏼Spot👏🏼Reduction!

Now, there is such thing as “spot gain”.

For example:

•  🍗Guys who do curls all day have huge arms but chicken legs.

• 😬Or women who do crunches all day because they think they can spot reduce end up just putting muscle on underneath the fat and make that area bigger.

My apologies if that hit you in your core (pun very much so intended).

Here are some additional facts:

• We will lose weight first, wherever we’re genetically inclined to lose (then everywhere else will follow). Which is different for everyone. For some folks it's the arms, the legs for others, and so on.

• Now. With that said, one of the many reasons we store fat is for “warmth and protection”. The vast majority of our vital organs are in our stomach. That is why, almost across the board on everyone, we store fat 1st in our belly and why belly fat is generally the last to go.

• The quickest way to lose fat in that particular spot that you deem as a problem area is to focus on overall fat loss— lift weights, HIIT cardio, and eat clean. Do the work and trust the process.

That’s it for today, my friends. Short, sweet, and straight to the point! Expect Wednesdays to continue to be this way.

Friday’s are upon us too, we need less than 50 votes to add in Fridays— scroll to the bottom to cast you vote— which will be similar to Hump Day Pump Day, in terms of outline but different in that it’ll be food focused (quick and easy healthy recipes, how to make smarter decisions in the kitchen, busting food myths and misconceptions, etc etc).

Thanks for reading, I’m grateful for you!

And please never forget:

Life is like your workouts in many ways. The more focused you are and the harder you push through it (tension/pain/burn), the stronger you become.

Much love, mi gente!
