Spot Fat Reduction07/20/2001 |
Are there any exercises I can do to target fat reduction? I am especially concerned about my upper arms. Thank you for your help.
Weight reduction occurs throughout the body, not in specific areas. `Spot reduction` is not possible. Aerobic exercise helps burn calories and therefore should be encouraged for weight reduction in general. Cardiovascular exercise performed 3-5 days per week for 30-60 minutes per session will help shed body fat.
