There’s a huge myth that is being perpetuated by many people in the fitness industry and that myth is that punctual, local fat-burning is possible.
In other words: Do sit-ups and you’ll burn your belly-fat.
I’m sorry, but that’s complete BS. There’s no way to target specific areas on your body for fat-burning. Fat on top of stressed muscle tissue does not melt away more quickly than anywhere else.
The only way to get rid of belly-fat (or any fat) is to ramp up your energy consumption, ramp up your metabolism and stop eating junk-food.
The best way to do this is to do HIIT instead of the typical cardio exercises. It’s quicker and more effective. Unfortuntely, it’s super-tough, so you’ll have to grit your teeth a bit, to get through training sessions.
