Fat – it’s a common topic in our lives, no one seems to be happy about their bodies and very often people complain about having bellies and stubborn pockets of fat around the waist they just can’t seem to shift.
As a Coach, clients almost beg me to ‘kill them with abdominals’ presumably thinking that their bulging tummies will be eliminated by exercising the midsection. Well, I’m afraid I can guarantee you that it’s not going to work. All those abdominal exercises will have little effect on your tummy. If you really want to reduce your waist your best bet is to look at your food.
There is however, something we all have in common as humans: we all store fat around the waist when we gain weight. Now, I can hear you saying, “Well only my thighs and my butt get bigger”. Trust me your waistline does too
We see and feel just the most obvious body fat and if you keep putting more weight you will see that you are getting bigger all over and particularly in certain areas where your body likes to keep the stored fat – something that’s all down to your genes. Generally speaking, in women it goes to the hips, thighs and bum and in men around the stomach and the chest.
