angelam_75 0 Posted May 10, 2007 I am constantly getting pop ups for this program. It claims to "spot reduce" which I thought was not possible. Anyone have any experience with this??? ~~Angela  5'2" Highest Weight-176 CW 154 GW 130  www.picturetrail.com/angelam_75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nancyny 0 Posted May 10, 2007 You can't "spot reduce." You don't control where your body loses or gains fat.  But I guess that doesn't keep so-called fitness "experts" like Denise Austin from making that kind of claim in their marketing materials. As far as I know you can still say pretty much anything you want when trying to sell fitness stuff.  I would be turned off by such claims and would not be interested in buying the workout or any other workout by that instructor.

angelam_75 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Hey Nancy! I was kind of thinking the same thing, but you always have to ask your buddies, ya know? ~~Angela  5'2" Highest Weight-176 CW 154 GW 130  www.picturetrail.com/angelam_75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heidi1962 0 Posted May 10, 2007 OK - I haven't seen her ad or pop-up, but I went to her website. I didn't see anything there about spot reducing. What I saw was that she has exercises that target different areas of the body. While you can't spot reduce, you can choose which muscles to tone. Maybe that's what it's referring to.  Just giving a great fitness professional the benefit of a doubt! Heidi  SW: 244.8 CW: 239.4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angelam_75 0 Posted May 11, 2007 Hey Heidi! Maybe I misunderstood the ad! I don't want to say something bad about a program if I don't know what I 'm talking about! yikes!!!  Here is the part that made me think "spot reduce" (I don't think I saw this on the website, but it was on the pop up)  "My newest body-slimming program zeros in on your trouble spots and helps you start to shrink your fat zones in 6 weeks!" ~~Angela  5'2" Highest Weight-176 CW 154 GW 130  www.picturetrail.com/angelam_75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heidi1962 0 Posted May 11, 2007 She's also my least favorite instructor - I have a few of her workouts and I think the music is added AFTER their taping because they always seem to be off-beat. Plus her chattering - annoys me more than Leslie's! Heidi  SW: 244.8 CW: 239.4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
