Spot reduction of belly fat

I mean no offense and I am asking this out of curiosity. From what i have heard spot reduction of fat is not possible. Which includes one's belly. The only way the body can shed flab is overall from the body and in the bargain we tend to lose fat on the belly. Please correct me if I am wrong. RK
Matthew's reply: Hi Roy, you're right, exercise reduces excess body fat overall, not just in one part of the body only. For best results for losing belly fat, the abs exercises on this site (like the Ab Lift) should be done in conjunction with some form of cardio exercise, like sport, several times a week. Having said this, the Ab Lift alone, when combined with deep breathing will certainly firm and tone your belly - deep breathing increases oxygenation of your system, which increases metabolism, which burns excess fat. Any further questions or comments feel free.
