Fitness Myths: you can spot-reduce fat

THE TRUTH:

Many peopl spend too much of their exercise-time doing a bazillion crunches in pursuit of rock-solid abs or banging out hundreds of reps on the inner and outer thigh machines to melt away stubborn fat pockets. But the only way you can spotreduce is with liposuction.

When you exercise, your body taps into energy stores from everywhere, not just one place. So by overexercising one area of your body, you only raise the risk of suffering an injury.
