high reps burn the fat around the targeted area?

[all_hail_islam]

okay i know how countless people say high reps does not "tone" your body, and cardio and diet does. but, doesnt the high amount of repetitions burn the fat around the targeted area? or maybe what im saying is the same definition of toning and it isnt true?

This is absolutely not true. Cardio and diet are the best ways to reduce body fat, and this reduction is applied to all body fat in proportion. You cannot spot reduce, and burn fat on, say, just the abs. I don't remember who, someone related fat loss to draining a swimming pool; you can't drain the deep end before the shallow end- everything drains at the same rate.

[Morbid_Mind]

It burns more calories. It doesn't selectivly burn fat from the area. That's near impossible.

You stfu, a*shole. Now you've insulted me too, as well as about 90% of this board. And you sure are making yourself look good by handling pow's bigoted remark with class.

Wow... strong stupidity. Enjoy your stay in the red.

"Toned" and "Defined" are looks you can acheive through having a lot of muscle mass and low bodyfat levels. There are methods of building muscle and methods of losing fat. There is no such thing as toning a muscle.

Fine with me, as long as you don't say anything stupid next time.

Nope, sorry, you cant spot check parts of your body like that. That would be great though, wouldnt it.

Spot Reduction Myth

Contrary to what the info commercials suggest, there is no such thing as spot reduction. Fat is lost throughout the body in a pattern dependent upon genetics, sex (hormones), and age. Overall body fat must be reduced to lose fat in any particular area. Although fat is lost or gained throughout the body, it seems the last area to become lean or the first area to get fat is the midsection (in men and some women) and hips and thighs (in women and few men). Sit-ups, crunches, leg-hip raises, leg raises, hip adduction, hip abduction, etc. will only exercise the muscles under the fat.

All hail secularism.

PoW insulted him first by insulting Islam, so he got personal back.

Dont give out digs if you cant take them. Next this thread will end being a fight between the americans and muslims. Not to mention under his name says its a joke.

So pack it in the lot of you. This board if getting way too f*cked. We got enough egos going around.

[icepack]

yes i do not understand this. i am a fitness instructor. and all the PT's in my gym say that doing 15+ reps tones the muscle.

what does it actually do. doing 15+ reps?

is it just maintaining the muscle you have or what?

i told them that to get cut/lean/define etc you need to alter your diet and add in cardio days. i said the weight and reps do not matter. but they said it does????

You can't spot reduce. Doing that burns overall bodyfat maybe, but i don't believe in spot reduction. Diet and cardio are your best friends.

A lot of PT's are idiots. Especially when it comes to nutrition also. There are a few PT's however, that know their stuff, but they're really rare. The veterans in this forum know way a lot more than the typical PT's.

do you not realize we will know it is you because of your dumba*s comments. We have gone over this before with you. Spot reduction is not possible for fat loss. It is not possible. A 5th grade understanding of anatomy would tell you this.

I don't mind people who ask questions and don't know. I have asked stupid questions in my day. But.....we have told you this a hundred times in other threads YOU CANNOT SPOT REDUCE FAT! It doesn't even make sense to think that.

So please, there is no need to keep asking this question just because people tell you no, it's not possible.

Okay. I just read this one. If i saw that earlier, i wouldn't have bothered replying you. Wtf is your problem???

His problem is that his religion (I assume he's Muslim) just got bashed by PoW, and he's choosing to respond with class and tact (sarcasm here).

[Trinigal]

If anyone elses religion was attacked it may have been the same thing...anyways that is pretty off topic

[masta_mo]

isn't this the idea.....the more muslce you gain in that area the faster the metabolism around the area therefore making you lose a bit of fat around that area. for example if you had fatty arms, and decided to work out the biceps and triceps, doesn't your metabolism around that area increase therefore losing fat and becoming more toned in the arm region..........correct me if im wrong! (i prolly am)

[W8isGR8]

Adipose tissue is innervated by the sympathetic nervous system. When it fires off, it does it everywhere. You can't choose to have it fire off in one spot.


As for the childish fighting, don't hate a person because of their religion, hate them because they're stupid

The logic is there. You'd think that the body would take the closest source of fuel to the muscle being worked. However, the muscles don't use fat as fuel(with the exception of cardio)

increasing muscle will increase your overall metabolism and in incease in metabolism will help you burn fat throughout the body. W8 said it perfectly (both paragraphs)

[uber_buff]

ive found that after doing heavy weights for 4 months or just a bit more my metabalism has increased dramaticcly.I used to tend to put weight on easy but now i find it hard to put on weight without eating heaps.Its a good thing and a bad thing.
