The bottom line: Spot reduction via exercising a specific body area doesn’t work. Working a particular muscle does not impact the amount of fat in the fatty area adjacent to the muscle being worked. Whether you lose fat or not comes down to overall energy balance. But you have no control over where your body takes that fat from. Your body will lose fat from some areas quicker than others, and there is nothing you can do about it. This has pretty much been the consensus among highly-educated health professionals for the last several decades and is what I personally taught for a decade.
