💪 Wellness Wednesday Myth Buster: Can You Spot Reduce Fat? 🧐

You’ve probably heard it before: “Just do more crunches to lose belly fat!”
Spoiler alert: that’s not how it works. 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️

✨ The Truth: Spot reduction—the idea that you can target fat loss in specific areas of your body through exercise—is a myth. While targeted workouts can strengthen muscles in a particular area (hello, abs!), they don’t magically melt the fat on top.

🔥 Fat loss happens overall, not just in one spot. Your body decides where it sheds fat based on genetics, hormones, and other factors.

✅ What does work?

• A mix of cardio, strength training, and balanced nutrition
• Staying consistent and patient
• Focusing on overall health, not just one body part

So next time you’re sweating it out, remember: every rep is helping your whole body, not just your abs! 😅💥
