Today's Tip: Spot Toning!

A question I get a lot is "can I target one spot on my body to get it into shape?"

Answer: Moving one area of your body over & over doesn't burn fat in that one spot, although it will firm up the area. If you focus on your thighs by doing hundreds of leg lifts you will strengthen your leg muscles but probably won't slim down. However, if you target your entire body with certain resistance training moves, you can boost your metabolism so that your body burns fat all day long - all over your body, including your thighs.

So don't neglect resistance or strength training as part of your exercise regimen!
