Can You Spot Reduce?

Q. Help! I really need to lose weight in my butt area...but I have no idea how!

A. You can't really dictate where to lose it, but if you start to reduce your weight overall, and bodyfat specifically, it will come off everywhere you want.

Are you exercising? I find that my bike (indoor) is the best way to drop size via bodyfat loss). I read while I ride, so I really like it because I'm addicted to reading.

Once you find something you really like, and you start to do it often, then you'll see results.

Exercise Equipment, Which is Best?

Q. What is better, elliptical or treadmill?

A. That's hard to say, but I'd say if you had to choose probably elliptical, then treadmill. I think the very best overall piece of equipment is the rowing machine.

I use a stationary bike, plus weight lifting and kettlebells (I'm new to using kettlebells). I'm also just starting to learn to use resistance bands. There are tons of choices, so it comes down to what you like the most because if you really like it, you're more likely to use the equipment consistently, and it's the consistency that produces the results.
