Many people have a problem that there is more fat in their stomachs and legs, so every time they go to the gym, they will focus on practicing their stomachs and legs, hoping to lose weight and stovepipe. The survey found that during exercise, everyone will focus on the parts they want to lose weight.

But only local exercise, is the effect really good?

Professor Cao Jianmin, director of the Sports Biochemistry Teaching and Research Section of Beijing University of Physical Education, said that when we exercise, we rely on hormones to promote fat decomposition, and hormones are systemic, not only acting on the exercise parts, so it is impossible to have the effect of partial weight loss. Moreover, local exercise also has a disadvantage, that is, less muscles are mobilized, resulting in less total energy consumption. In addition, long-term local exercise can easily lead to fatigue and injury.

The correct way to reduce fat is the scientific combination of whole body exercise (such as running and aerobics) and local strength exercises.
