Listen "030 Why You Can’t Spot Reduce Fat: The Science You Need to Know"

In this episode, we tackle one of the most common fitness myths: the idea that you can target specific areas of your body for fat loss, like your belly or thighs, through certain exercises. We explain why spot-reducing fat isn’t possible and how fat loss actually works. Instead of chasing quick fixes, we’ll dive into the strategies that do work—like building muscle, managing nutrition, and staying consistent.
