Question

a. exercise only burns fat in specific body regions.
b. weight training strengthens muscles but does not burn fat.
c. the results of spot training are not consistent.
d. exercise cannot burn fat in a target body region.

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Spot training (targeted fat loss) is not supported by physiological evidence. The body burns fat systemically, not selectively in one region. Option A is incorrect because exercise does not only burn fat in specific regions. Option B is wrong because weight training does burn fat (it increases muscle mass which boosts resting metabolism, and burns calories during the workout). Option C is incorrect as spot training does not reliably work at all, not just have inconsistent results. Option D correctly states that exercise cannot target fat loss to a specific body region.

Answer:

D. Exercise cannot burn fat in a target body region.
