Is this the secret to reducing belly fat? 🤯
This was super surprising! 🚨
Real quick, this is from ep. 180 of the Physique Development Podcast ‘The Best Way to Get Abs & a Strong Core’
I’ve said it & you’ve heard it many times, you CANNOT spot reduce body fat.
But, this recent 2021 study collected data that proves otherwise…
You CAN spot reduce body fat (maybe😉)
In this study, they looked at two groups
Group 1 (Controlled): Performed 45 min of Zone 2 Cardio (No ab exercises)
Group 2 (Spot Reduction): Performed 27 min of Zone 2 Cardio & 2 ab exercises on 4 minute intervals
The difference in zone 2 cardio time was to match total caloric expenditure between the two groups.
They performed their protocols 4x weekly, over a 10 week period & the results shocked me…
The Spot Reduction Group saw a 7% drop in belly fat, while the cardio only group loss 4% in belly fat 🤯
The spot reduction group actually lost MORE body fat in the target area, crazy!
Now, does this mean that myself & other fitness professionals in the space have been lying all along?! Only time will tell, but at this moment we need more studies to report the same findings.
There are limitations in this study, like all papers. If you want to check out it out, 👇🏻
