Let’s face it. Everyone at some point in there life has asked a dumb question. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact I’ve probably done it more than YOU! I remember when I was in school and studying to be a personal trainer my nickname is my class was “random” because I always had a random dumb question to ask the teacher during lectures. Even to this day if I talk to one of my old classmates they will address me as “random” still rather than by my real name. But I always found that it’s better to ask a dumb question and get a clear and concise answer than to keep it to myself and make an assumption that could possibly be wrong. However there is one question I get asked almost on a weekly basis on my website that I feel I must put an end to once and for all.
The question I am referring to is “what is the best exercise for my…….”

- Chest
- Stomach
- butt
- Arms
- Abs
- Legs
- Etc.

Another way some might word it is “what’s the best way to get rid of my…….”

- Man boobs
- Beer belly
- Badonkadonk
- Chicken wings
- Cellulite
- Etc.



Now some of you might be looking at this and be thinking “that’s not a dumb question. I want to know what the best exercise is to get rid of that stuff too!” but the reason why I consider this a dumb question is because there is no single exercise you can do to target those specific areas and there is no way of burning the fat in those specific areas alone. But don’t panic. You can lose weight and you can tone up your body. The fact is you just can’t tone up or lose weight in that one targeted area that you want to lose it most. Doing a bunch of crunches won’t target belly fat and doing tons of bench press or push-ups wont target man boobs. When your body burns fat it burns fat evenly throughout your body and does not burn fat in just one spot. Think about it have you ever gone to the beach and saw a dude with ripped abs but he still had man boobs? Of course not. You’ll see guys who are ripped all over and you’ll see some guys who are chubby all over (and of course plenty of in between). So the good news is that you can lose your:


- Man boobs
- Beer belly
- Badonkadonk
- Cellulite
- Chicken wings
- Etc.

But when you burn the fat in one of those areas you’ll also burn it evenly throughout the rest of your body. So stop searching for that one special exercise to target those areas. What you really need is:

- A low calorie, balanced and nutritious diet plan
- An effective and balanced workout regiment
- A clear set of goals
- And the motivation and tools necessary to achieve those goals
- Someone who knows and has all of the tools above that can teach and guide you

All of these things are areas I will continue to teach you in future blog posts and of course if there is a specific area that you feel you need extra help on you can shoot me a question any time for FREE on my website. Keep up the great work and keep the questions coming…..I’m here for you.

Dedicated to your health and fitness,
