For the first part of your question, the answer is simple:
There is nothing you can do to directly burn the fat in any part of your body. When you use fat as a fuel, that fat can come from anywhere in your body. Typically, it comes from where you gained it last.
I get this question all the time from women never from men. Why?
It’s because fat is deposited in sex specific regions. Men tend to store fat around their bellies. That why men get “pot bellies,” “beer bellies,” and “spare tires.”
Women, on the other hand , tend to store extra fat around their hips and thighs. That’s why women, and not men, get ” saddle bags.” It’s not because men know some magic exercise to get rid of saddle bags.
It’s not you, it’s your hormones.
You have stored extra fat in this region because your body, more specifically, your hormones decided to store fat there.
In fact, studies show that men given female hormones will start to store excess fat around there their hips – just like women.
The corollary is true – women given male hormones will tend to store excess fat around their bellies.
The only answer is to focus on burn fat all over. The only way your body will store excess fat in you sex-determined storages places is if you have excess fat in the first place.
No excess fat in general – no so called problems areas.
So that answers the second part of your question.
Walking burns calories and, therefore, helps you burn fat all over. That leads to you eventually losing fat in your saddlebags – and every place else.
Keep in mind, however, that your hormones will fight you and try to hold on to fat in this region regardless of what you do.
Do whatever you can to keep your body fat low by staying active (including structured exercise) and eating right, but remember it’s possible that you may never look like a Victoria’s Secret model.
Don’t use that as an excuse, though.
