Q&A: Answered
“I would love to see a plan to shift lower body fat for us pear shaped chicks who get lean on top weeks or even months before the lower body is even close.”
Oh I bet you would! Unfortunately almost every single female I have ever worked with has been predisposed to fat storage in the hips and thigh region.
Think about it if you carry more fat in your lower body than your upper body, where do you think you will see the most result when your body fat starts to decrease?
Well, the upper body of course since it didn’t have as much fat to begin with- in the first place.
I know a lot of you won’t like this answer but you can’t spot reduce fat through training or nutritional protocol.
The only ways to spot reduce fat is through liposuction or by the application of topical solution. Liposuction is very effective and you will definitely see huge results as long as you don’t mind waiting several months for the swelling to go down.
However any topical solution should only be used to polish off an already lean area of the body and put the finishing touches on a well chiseled physique.
Now let’s step back for a minute and take a look at the bigger picture. If you carry a lot of blubber in that caboose of yours then by simply recruiting the gluteus during training will improve myogenic tone and even educe some muscle soreness.
No, you won’t be able to see any muscle tonus because of the thick layer of fat but you will be able to feel a more firm set of taters underneath all the padding.
So although you can’t spot reduce body fat in a particular through training or nutritional means you can recruit and activate the muscle underneath the fat, resulting in a tighter body part and even slightly improve the appearance.
