[TravMcTavish]

Thanks for covering this I actually did not know this.

Great video Jess. The more muscle you have the more energy your body will expend. I love how our body are machines :)

[genghisgirl]

I just want to add two points: muscle tissue is firm, but the breaking down and rebuilding of muscle tissue through strength training is what makes them larger and more defined... just losing fat will not give you a toned look. Also, recent studies have shown that the increased calorie burn of muscle over fat is minimal... so don't eat a ton more just because you have more muscle. Haha, models aren't mutants, they're just different than most... :)

[socalgrrrl05]

Hate those commercials! So ridiculous! 

[JestingJill]

@socalgrrrl05 and at some point, we have all fallen victim to them..i had this ab thing once that looked like the Darth Vader's death star, it was hilarious!

[cotaman08]

Great topic and right on..I lost any respect that I had for Denise Austin (even tho she's Hott!) when I saw her in a commercial advertising a spot reduce belt with her name on it.

[JestingJill]

@cotaman08 i lost respect for her when she endorse diet rite

[cotaman08]

@cotaman08 There you go..artificial sweeteners could be a topic for you touch on, sometime.

[curleegirl68]

I used to be a sucker for infomercials.....Nothing is perfect....What a nice view and clear picture...

[JestingJill]

@curleegirl68 me too, i had a belt that was supposed to shock your abs toned....funny

[cashpath]

Great video Jill... I take it for granted that people know this by now.. but many still don't.

[JestingJill]

@cashpath Thats what is great about youtube, there are people of all knowledge and fitness levels and think we should all share and learn from one another.

[uklili13]

sorry for the bugs trying to attack you!

great video. very informative with a touch of humor which I love about you. and fyi.. you are lookin smokin! guess I am stuck with my big butt and hips for a while haha. (but I already knew that. got me some baby makin big hips!)

[JestingJill]

@uklili13 i have huge hips too....i dont mind them but the thunder thighs and belly flap need to gtfo

[largetree]

really good informative video. everything you said was correct. Someone PM'ed me last week and asked how i got my abs. all i said was "diet". I barely do cardio and i do abs MAYBE once a week. You can't spot reduce fat. Your diet will help lose the fat, and your body picks where it wants to burn the fat. Gut and butt are the last place always. It sucks hehe.

[JestingJill]

@largetree I am happy that you like this, i always try and make the videos that i wish i had seen when i first started...i figure that's the best way to talk about things that others can benefit from.

[aaronlosing]

Great my gut will be the last to go SHIT! Oh well, cut to me on a run :)

Yeah unrealistic mutants OMG you can totally see all the bones in my body, I haven't eaten in weeks, I could pass out right now I'm so hot!

[JestingJill]

@aaronlosing Well there are realistic health and fitness goals and then there are the airbrushed mutants that people think are beautiful but we could break with one little hiiiiiiiiii yaaaaaa *judo chop*, those people are not how i want to be. I want to be lean and strong.

[angienicholas]

great video thanks for sharing

[lizard26]

Well done! I did know about the spot reduction myth. I still need to hear it. This was explained clearly and understandably. (<--- is that a word?)

[aaronlosing]

@lizard26 yep it's a word and a big one at that. Somebody is smart :)

[JestingJill]

@lizard26 I only know the basics , so i can only relay it the best way i can. My hope is that if someone did not already know this, it might help with any futile efforts. Thanks for watching!

[PAPSCAL1973]

Spot reduction is not a myth... I got this spot of chocolate on my shirt and licked it off... Thus reducing the spot... Hence its reduction...=0) Good video...

[aaronlosing]

@PAPSCAL1973 funny shit. I totally spot reduced the hell out of dark chocolate muffin today woohoo.

[JestingJill]

@PAPSCAL1973 mmmmm now thats some spot reduction i can get into

[MoveItForward]

You looked great against that beautiful background Jill. I know you can't spot reduce fat. Marketers no that there are millions of people still holding out the hope that finally someone will create or invent the perfect solution for spot reduction, that is why people continue to try each new product. I know many super fit people and they all have two things in common. They eat right and they work hard. No one gets a free ride on this.

[JestingJill]

@MoveItForward I couldnt have said it better myself terry!

[maddmaddworld]

Excellent points, Jill I have tried explaining this to my wife before...maybe this will help. ;-)

[JestingJill]

@maddmaddworld There are tons of articles on the net about it, try mayo clenic or webmd, let her read what doctors have written.
