“It’s impossible to spot reduce; you can’t lose fat from
your stomach by doing sit-ups or crunches.”
Kinesiologists have been saying this with great assurance for
years. The second part of the statement
is true but the first part, fortunately, is false. When I started rollerblading in 2001 I lost 4
inches off each of my thighs within the first few months. I know what I lost was really fat because I
have body fat measurements for various body parts going back decades.
I think of body fat as an arrow pointing to parts of the
body where there are either weak muscles or inflammation or both. In order to reduce body fat in a specific
area you have to work the underlying muscles hard, using a complex exercise
like rollerblading that works different parts of the muscle group or a
combination of exercises like the 11-move Ab Ripper X. You also have to do the exercise often
enough. After a month of doing Ab Ripper
X three times a week (only fifteen minutes per time) I definitely saw results. Now my husband’s doing it too!
