"First, I hate to break it to you, but you can't spot reduce," Tiffany said. "The idea is awesome, but it doesn't work that way." If you think not being able to target a specific area sucks, it doesn't. According to Tiffany, "All exercise has a global effect." This means that you can build lean muscle and reduce fat all over. That sounds way better than hyper-focusing on one specific area of your body to us!
We've spoken to a lot of experts about weightlifting to lose fat, and they all recommend doing compound exercises like squats and deadlifts. Compound exercises are great because they work multiple groups of muscle and require more energy to perform, which means you'll be burning more calories and fat every time you do them.
Cardio is also important to the fat-burning equation, and it will even help boost your metabolism. Some forms of cardio we recommend are doing steady-state runs, Spinning, swimming, and sprinting.
