Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do exercises that will reduce fat in specific areas?

The idea of body fat spot reduction is a tough subject. We are predisposed to carry fat in certain areas. Doing crunches for example will not decrease your stomach fat. How ever, resistance and cardio training burns calories and increases your metabolism. All of which can help make you leaner. But don't forget in order to look leaner, you must lower body fat and improve lean muscle. So keep the ab exercise, just don't follow it with a burger.

I have been doing the same routine for a long time, but I am not seeing any results, what am I doing wrong?

Variety is the spice of life and the key to success in fitness. Your body is a dynamic organism that is required to do all sorts of different movements at different speeds and lengths of time.
