Spot reduction refers to the claim that fat in a certain area of the body can be targeted for reduction through exercise of specific muscles in that desired area. For example, exercising the abdominal muscles in an effort to lose weight in or around one's midsection.[1][2] Fitness coaches and medical professionals as well as physiologists consider the claim to be disproved.[3][4]
