Show Notes
There is a lot of misinformation about body sculpting. People always want to get rid of fats in some areas and get other parts of their body bigger. The reality of body sculpting is that you can accomplish it. However, you need to have a strong foundation first. You do this by dropping your body fat percentage, then build your muscles. This will then help you target a specific muscle group.
You have to chisel away the big block first to reveal the masterpiece underneath. The big problem here is that you cannot control where the fat will decide to come off first. The areas where you really want the fat to come off first may be the last. However, you need to keep doing the right things with exercise and diet.
Once you have a really good foundation and your body fat has gone way done, you can then start targeting certain body parts and hitting them hard. When targeting specific body parts like the arms, you have to train the surrounding areas as well.
So in a nutshell, for body sculpting to work, you have to drop your body fat percentage, build your muscles, and get a strong foundation. Once you have this base, you can then isolate specific muscle groups and train them hard.
