Ask the trainer: Spot reducing?

Heather,

How can I lose my stomach and inner thighs without dieting?

Cynthia Brooks


Cynthia,

Unfortunately you cannot spot reduce any area of your body regardless of whether or not you are dieting, working out, or doing a combination of the two. You must not only modify your diet but focus on a combination of strength and cardiovascular training. Increasing your muscle mass through strength training will not only allow you to burn more calories while at rest but will assist you in achieving the "toned" look you are seeking. Cardiovascular training will burn additional calories while you are actually participating in your selected activity. Finally, depending on the types of food and the number and size of meals your are consuming a modification of your diet may be just what you need to lose the extra pounds. A combination of the three will help you to be successful in achieving your goals.

Remember, weight and body fat distribution have been identified by several studies as risk factors for getting breast cancer. The way weight is distributed over the body, having a substantial amount of the body fat in the abdomen, is a high risk factor in many diseases as well as hormonal cancers in women. Additionally, women who tend to have a "pear shaped" body have been found to be at a higher risk for heart disease. So while aesthetics are a strong motivator, your underlying potential health issues are the greater concern.

If you need additional help with any area or a specific routine feel free to contact me. Best of luck in achieving you wellness goals!
