It’s a widely known fact of exercise that spot training doesn’t work. You cannot remove the fat on your stomach by performing situps; you must reduce your fat intake and increase your fat burn, and then you will experience a body-wide reduction of fat.
Yet people persist in spot training, and some even feel they see it work. What gives?
The answer is that many people are more concerned with external appearance than with the actual composition of their bodies. It’s true that you cannot remove fat from your belly with situps, but you can improve your saggy appearance. By strengthening the stomach and core muscles, you can make your trunk firmer, and fat will be held up rather than droop. Although it will not be gone, you may find an improved waistline and visually you will appear more fit.
