It is generally impossible to target fat from specific areas through dieting or exercise. The only method is through surgical procedures such as Liposuction.

Are there any exercise machines that specifically target body fat?

No machine can make fat come off of your body. Cardiovascular exercise itself is what causes fat loss, regadless of what type of machine or workout you are using. In terms of losing fat from specific body areas, unfortunately, it doesn't work this way. Now this doesn't mean you cannot make certain body areas smaller, but you cannot make certain areas lost fat specifically. Fat loss occurs when the body breaks down fat stores from all over the body, as it will be then placed in the bloodstream, and delivered again, all over your body to feed your working muscles. Fat loss occurs all over the body; when it does occur. However, you can shrink specific areas by working a specific muscle group. Muscles will only tone when they are worked. So you can tone your belly muscles with sit-ups, but still keep a curve in your hips, as sit ups do not focus on the hip muscles.


What component of fitness does lunges help improve?

Although it's been soundly debunked since the 1980s, the idea that you can target a specific body part for fat loss is an enduring fitness myth. Fat comes off your body as a whole, which can be frustrating if you've set goals to shed fat from just one area. On the other hand, this means all exercises contribute to losing weight from your target areas. Lunges, for example, contribute to losing belly fat even though they work out your legs.
