People usually say this because there is an area of their body where they
are storing excess body fat, but unfortunately you cannot spot reduce.
For example, doing hundreds and hundreds of crunches will not
reduce the size of your waist if you have an excess of body fat there.
What you need to do is reduce the body fat through a combination of
sensible eating and aerobic exercise, in addition to doing some condi-
tioning work to the area concerned. Furthermore, overtraining one
muscle and neglecting others can upset muscle balance and lead to
injuries to muscles and joints.
