Your Questions Answered By Tom Venuto
Question: I’m pretty lean overall, but no matter what I do, I can’t seem to get rid of this last little bit of fat on my lower abs. What are the best ab exercises to burn the fat off?
Answer: If I hear this question one more time, I’m gonna scream! Ok, let me clear this up once and for all: You can’t “spot reduce” fat from one specific part of your body! You lose fat systemically. That means you can’t control where it comes from. When fat is oxidized for energy, you will draw it from all areas of the body, and the first place you tend to put it on will be the last place it comes off. Everyone has certain “stubborn” areas where it seems “hard to get rid of” but the fat WILL go, it will just be the last place to go. The best way to burn fat off your abs is not to do more ab work, but to do more cardiovascular work: bike, Stairmaster, treadmill, elliptical machine or rower – they’re all great fat burners. Work at about 70-85% of your age-predicted maximal heart rate (220-your age) and maintain it for 30-45 minutes 5-6 days a week for optimal results. Train your abs about twice a week, just as you would any other body part. Doing your abs every day will do almost nothing to remove the layer of fat covering the muscles. In fact, it is possible to have a great set of abs that you can’t even see because they are covered up with a layer of fat! And don’t forget, nutrition is half the battle when it comes to fat loss! If you’re drinking beer and eating pizza, it doesn’t matter what you do in the gym, you’ll never have a great set of abs.

How can I get cut up. Can I get cut up without alot of protein. But just eat protein foods..
Tom, great article and so logical!
Thanks!
I hear you Tom, that same questin drives me insane and no matter how may times you say “There is no such thing as spot reduction” They will still come back and ask for that magic eraser trick we supposedly not telling them about.
It’s diet and exercise, a healthy dose of motivation and dedication.
Kudos to you Tom, but you just know someone else is going to come back and ask you…. What are the best ab exercises to burn the fat off this area?
There is a way to spot reduce fat now and it has been here for some years now- ‘Lipodissolve’ will lose fat from the most stubborn regions.This method is particularly effective for females but for some reason too much ‘Testosterone’ seems to block the fat dissolving effects of the main ingredient- Phosphatidylcholine- as men as more resistant, although they too can lose fat with the local injections directly into the fat layer but at a slower rate than ladies. If you visit my web site you will be able to read an extensive treatise on this procedure. All the best and never give up, Best wishes, Ashley Minas(Dr)
There is a way ‘LIPODISSOLVE’ and it has been around now for some time and definitely works wonders for ‘spot reduction’ of stubborn fat for females and not as effective for males as the Testosterone seems to blunt the fat dissolving effects for men. For an extensive treatise on this therapy you could visit my web site and if you have any further questions I will be happy to assit. Best wishes, Ashley Minas(Dr)

I’ve done lipodissolve…and it did absolutely nothing for my inner thighs (where I had my injections). The only thing I got out of it was chronic swelling. I still have problems with it to this day and I haven’t had a treatment for about 10 months now. It’s an absolute waste of money. The only reason I did it was because I was desperate… I was dieting and training smart and yet I continued to gain weight.. 20lbs in 2 months. Turns out it was a thyroid causing me trouble. Still battling that. Anyway, that’s my .02
so logicla and your advice does really help me:)
A great set of abs vs. beer & pizza. I’ll never have a great set of abs.
