Short answer: no exercise can target fat on specific regions.

Reason: You cannot do spot reduction of "troublesome" areas with exercise. Fat breakdown in adipose tissues is hormonally controlled which means its effects are systemic (whole body). Intramuscular triglyceride breakdown is localised but that doesn't contribute to fat mass.

So the short answer is no. And anyone who tells you differently is BSing you.

Indeed. Spot reduction is a myth. You want to lose neck fat, you'll have to do more exercise and lose it evenly everywhere.

I've noticed the best way to get rid of fat...Is to not eat so much.

you could always try DIY Liposuction, all you need is a syringe, a tube and a lot of luck.
