English term or phrase: spot reducing
Bonjour,
Dans un ouvrage sur une méthode de régime, je trouve cette expression. Contexte :
"I can spot reduce to lose weight from my thighs"
"Spot reducing is a myth; spot toning isn't. Cardio activities such as cycling and running help burn overall body fat. Resistance activities such as yoga or lifting weights can tone and improve the appearance of individual muscles, such as those in the thighs."

Je ne parviens pas à trouver de traduction satisfaisante. Une idée ? Merci.
