By doing an exercise on a specific part of the body do you lose fat from that area?

Question

Or fat loss happens all over the body or even where the body decides to remove fat from.

Answer 1

you loose fat where u excersize, example, ab excersizes, u lose fat on your stomach.

Answer 2

Fat is burned from all over the body when you exercise. For different people the fat collects in different places in different quantities. So getting rid of fat goes in reverse area. If you want to slim your stomach, you may have to get rid of the fat on your thighs first.

You may be improving the look of the specific area because you are tightening up the muscles under the fat in that area. And exercise will help you build muscle, but muscle weighs more than fat. You could actually gain a bit of weight at first, but it will drop off! And muscle burns more calories than fat does, so it will help lose even more weight.

Answer 3

The best way is to do a complete work out. The reason fat will drop from a certain area is because you are toning and building muscle in that area and the fat goes away. But that is actually harder to maintain than losing fat over your whole body.

Answer 4

When you eat, do you just gain fat in your stomache? No, we'd look very silly if that happend. When you eat, your genetics and your make up decide where the fat is distributed. Same goes for when you excercise; Your body decides where your going to lose fat. Ex. If you exercise and lose weight, why would your face lose the pounds too? You weren't doing face exercises. If you isolate and tone up certain body parts, yes, they are going to look toned and less flabby, thats because you've built and toned muscle.

Answer 5

Your talking about taret training. Targeting one area of the body does not work. Doing a full body work out is the best way to lose weight. Calories will be pulled from your fat tissue in your body and burned. Circuit training is a great way to lose weight. Raises cadrio level and increases muscle strenght- without as much mass.

Answer 6

Because when you exercise, ALL of your muscles work, you loose fat everywhere. You can ISOLATE, that means - work harder, certain parts of the body, but all muscles have to help to make the body move. Like doing situps. Sure you give the stomach a fit, but the sides and back are also working hard to get you up and down.

Answer 7

It happens all over. How and where you lose fat is genetically determined. Specific exercises will help strengthen or build muscle in that area but it would be hidden underneath the fat.

Answer 8

loosing fat happens from burning calories. you cannot loose fat from your stomach by doing sit-ups or anything like that.

the best way to trim down is through sustained cardio, like running, jumping rope, biking etc. then, build muscle through weights to tone your body. adding muscle also increases your metabolism, so you will burn more calories throughout the day.

calisthenics are a good way to get aerobic and muscle building into one session, like doing pushups, squats, dips, pullups, jumping jacks, burpees, situps etc. 20 min minimum.
