Question:
I have heard that there is no such thing as target weight
loss. Is this true and if so what do you do about problem
areas? I also have a problem with arm jiggle if you have
a remedy for that I would greatly appreciate it.
Answer:
What you've heard about there
being no such thing as target weight loss is true. When
your body mobilizes fat from your fat cells it does so on
a whole-body basis, basically pulling fat from all over
the place all at once.
Certain areas of your body
are more willing to give up their fat stores while some
areas are more stubborn about it and hold off as long as
they can. In men, this is seen mostly in the abdominal area
and in women, in the hip area.
You can certainly tone up
the muscles in your problem areas and that will help a lot
as far as improving them. The real payoff will come when
your fat loss peels away the covering over those areas to
reveal what you've worked for underneath! This is done through
burning calories and watching what you eat. You're definitely
on the right track!

As far as your arm jiggle
goes, a good exercise that I recommend to people is the
bench dip. It works the tricep muscles which are located
on the rear of upper arm.
