Can I Spot Train?

Often times I hear people that just want to what I call spot train. That is simply train one spot or one body part. This is the I don't care about my legs, I just want nice arms person.

This is a tricky topic for a couple of reasons the answer is yes and no. The answer is yes if you are well experienced and already have a certain amount of muscle that you are building and are not really concerned with actually losing weight or trying to gain weight in the form of muscle. You possibly add a little extra time or do what is known as doubles. That is two workouts a day. Don't freak out many people do this that are serious about exercise. However, it needs to be done with care and a schedule or journal still needs to be maintained to give proper rest.

However, if you are trying to lose weight and add some muscle then the answer is no. When you are doing cardio, your body knows the language of raise your heart rate and your metabolism. People often store fat in different places in their body and will lose in a certain place in their body first. However, you have no control over this process. Only God has the power to decide when and where your body will react according to the exercise and food that you eat.

So you have to decide where you fit between these two scenarios and determine whether or not it is possible for you to spot train.
