Hi Anika, Spot reduction is definitely possible.. But it can be done only by maintaining a controlled diet pattern and doing exercises for that particular spot like for example: belly - bicycle crunch, twisting crunch, sit ups, hover, etc.. Similarly for thighs, u can try these - squats, lunge, step up, step down, etc..

Aerobic exercise is key. Aerobic exercise will facilitate fat loss all over your body, including your belly. You can't "spot-burn" belly fat, but it's usually the first to burn off when you exercise. Just be sure that you focus on calorie-burning exercises, rather than sit-ups or crunches.

* An additional benefit is that exercise reduces stress and insulin levels, which reduces the presence of cortisol, a hormone that leads to more belly fat deposits.

I work fulltime, have a young child and have to look after the home - I cant possibly fit in aerobics.... but yet run.... but I need to do something else. I think my body needs somethign different.

@kam .. hi .. actually running and walking both are forms of aerobic exercises .. and excellent exercises for losing fat !!

A balanced diet and regular exercises helps in belly fat reduction. Straight leg raising in supine position and maintaining at 30, 45, 60 degrees for 10 counts is really effective. Cycling/Bicycle exercises in supine position also helps.
