Foam rolling and breaking up stubborn fat?

[Inatic]

was thinking..........

If foam rolling can be effective in breaking up scar tissue, what effect do you think it might have on a really stubborn small fat 'pocket' area. I have two areas on my hips that hold stubborn fat, tho dieting has reduced it some, its one of a few areas that really refuses to budge much. My surgeon had adviced me to cut it off but i didnt.

Since foam rolling can break scar tissue and help circulate blood to an area, wondered if it might have some effect on a fat "pocket"

Gonna give it a go for a while. Foam rolling the area/s once to twice per day. I can dream, right? :angel4:

opinions?

I think you should foam roll your stomach while you're at it.

:cheeky:

thanks :dry:

Im talking really small areas.

That was totally uncalled for.

:lol3: In theory it sounds good Ileen, but since scar tissue and fat cells are structurally totally different, I don't think it's likely to work. Have fun trying though, you never know. You may be able to sort of spreadthe cells out a bit so the "pocket" is not as visible, but you're already pretty lean, so I don't know if it would visually make a difference.

Bear in mind I'm just talking out my ass here, I really have no idea :grin:

Are you being serious??? :blink: :bitch:

Holy crap you guys are too uptight. I don't even know what her stomach looks like!

No, its not worth it. Use Lyle's stubborn fat protocol or something, but like Ali said, they're structurally different.

Thank you Ali, i was looking for the more scientific answer. Thank you for taking the time to explain that. :kiss:

Ok, so now come the questions.

Is it like a tumor? Is it a fat pocket that sticks out? Is it just a small area that is harder than the surrounding fat? Is it soft/squishy?
