The most frequent question I hear as a Personal Trainer for ladies over 55 is, “How do I get rid of stubborn belly fat?” This inquiry is usually followed by a core exercise request. There's more to belly fat loss than core workouts.

Walking just for exercise is one of the top belly fat blunders women over 55 make. Your fitness regimen should include walking and weight training at least 2-3 times a week to increase strength, endurance, and metabolism.
