The Truth About Spot Reduction

Many people ask:

“How do I lose fat just in my stomach?”
“How do I tone my arms only?”

Unfortunately, spot reduction is a myth.

At VIP Fitness Center serving Edgewater, we educate members on how fat loss truly works.

How Fat Loss Actually Occurs

Fat loss happens systemically — not locally.

When you create a calorie deficit through:

  • Strength training

  • Nutrition control

  • Increased activity

Your body draws energy from fat stores across your body.

Why Targeted Exercises Still Matter

While you can’t burn fat from one area alone, strengthening specific muscles improves tone once fat is reduced.

Core training strengthens abdominal muscles.
Arm training improves definition once body fat decreases.

Patience and Consistency

Genetics determine fat storage patterns.

Adults in Bergen County often notice stubborn areas improve last.

Structured programming ensures total body progress.
