You cannot turn fat into muscle, period. You cannot spot reduce, period. Search to your heart's content for articles, experiments, research etc. and you will find this to be the case. It is like saying that doing 1000 crunches a day will turn a beer belly into a sixpack - I don't think so.

no such thing as spot reduction. Diet is the only thing that will get rid of those love handles.
i was refering to workouts not dieting sorry bout that oneQuote:

if your diet is correct you will not loose size.Quote:

Not correct. Fat DOES NOT turn into muscle. If you do side exercises and do not get your diet in order and do cardio, you will make things looks worse since you will thicken your waist and STILL have the fat.Quote:
