The Myth of Spot Reduction is believing you can work muscles in a certain area of the body to reduce the body fat in that area. This is like saying that you can take a bucket, walk up to an inground swimming pool, and scoop water only out of the deep end. It doesn't work that way. You can empty the pool by draining the water, but the shallow end will be emptied before the deep end. In this episode, learn the "First On, Last Off" principal when it comes to body shape, and how the combination of whole-effort exercise + whole-food nutrition approach will lead to not only a healthy rebuilding of your body from the inside out, but a dramatic improvement to your overall health and disease risk.
