Help Prevent the "Muffin Top" with Stength Training

As women age, the ever-feared "muffin top", or abdominal fat which has a tendency to spill over the waist of the pants, becomes a pesky problem. 

Rather than going to the store to look for a larger pair of pants, women looking to prevent an age-associated increase in abdominal body fat should look to incorporating strength training into their day.

In a recent study, researchers divided a group of 25 to 44 year old overweight and obese women into two groups:  one participated in twice weekly strenght training sessions and the other received informational brochures recommending exercise. 

After two years, the strength training group had lost four percent of their body fat while the other group lost less than .01 percent.

Just a few minutes twice a week could really make a difference! 

Don't delay.
