Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.

Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat through calorie-burning exercises, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. It cannot be specifically targeted in one region.

Also, exercises mostly serve to tone the muscle underneath the fat. But if you want visible muscles, the fat has to be burned off first. If you exercise enough, with aerobics such as swimming or bicycling, they will burn fat off your body, because they are designed to reduce calories. Yet the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.

Note that unlike reducing fat, muscle-building can be done in specific body areas.

Also note that in reducing fat, it's important to ditch the junk food and the sweetened drinks. Exercise alone might not be sufficient.
