One of the most common myths in the field of fitness: you can lose weight locally!

That is, in those places where I would very much like to become smaller: the stomach, hips, etc. Indeed, there is a lot of information on the Internet about this. But here's what the science says. Physical activity affects the expenditure of the total fat depot, but not its individual parts. In addition, do not forget that, in addition to the subcutaneous fat layer, which we can see and even measure, there is also visceral fat (it surrounds the internal organs of the abdominal cavity). During training, for energy, you must first break down fats into glycerol and fatty acids. Several hormones are responsible for this: adrenaline, cortisol, norepinephrine, growth hormone and thyroid hormones. We cannot influence the work of hormones at the moment and at will. But we can approach the training process in a complex way, with a great emphasis on nutrition. This is how you can "blind" the figure of your dreams.
