I second what TrainerDan said about the myth of targeting spots. Here's a cut and paste below from a previous post of mine:
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...&highlight=spot
Quote:
1. When you lose fat, you DO NOT lose fat cells. You lose fat from those cells
2. Your fat cells are not equally distributed over your body, that's what makes your figure unique. It's genetic.
3. You can not control which fat to lose from which cells. You lose proportionally to your fat cell concentration. Spot training does not work in losing fat from a spot, it can only build muscle. If you lift weight with one hand, you'll grow muscle on that hand, but you'll lose fat equally from both hands. If you lost 10% fat from each hand, you've lost 10% from everywhere else.
