Belly fat?

I know or have heard that there is no way to spot reduce. But has anyone
come up with anything that might possible target a particular area on the
body like the belly fat?

TIA

"Target a particular area" = "spot reduce". No.

You cannot reduce fat from a certain targeted area of your body just by using exercise alone. The abdominal area is no exception.
So, if you want to get a flat stomach and reveal your abs, losing the fat covering them is the way to go.
The only way to do this is to lose fat proportionately from your entire body by burning more calories than you consume.

How? By doing these two things:
1) Have a healthy and balanced permanent diet: dark green vegetables, fresh fruits, whole wheat and whole grain products, non-fat dairy products, fish, poultry breast, lean red meat, egg white.

You should cut out all sugar, soda, non-whole grain products and saturated fats: These aliments should only be a reward for achieving a goal, not a habit!

2) Start exercising

Aerobic and weight training will raise your metabolic rate. In result, your body will burn more calories.

* aerobic exercising

3 times per week, conduct an exercise that keeps your heart rate elevated for at least 30-45 minutes (ex: walking, running, cycling, swimming, aerobics, ... check out folloving link for more ideas: http://www.weight-loss-choice.com/Ex..._and_Diet.html)

* weight training

Alternate days of aerobics with weight training. You will build muscles that will burn more calories, even when at rest!

Good luck!

Hi Terry,
The belly fat you are asking about is different from any other fat in
the body. Diet and exercise alone are an excellent choice to reduce
the over all weight but not enough to get rid of the belly fat, which
is specifically related to stress (read why in my web site about big
waistline). We all have a huge amount of daily stress but some people
manage it better than others.
