Fat Distribution: Women’s Lower Body vs. Men’s Abdomen
Welcome back to our series where we explore the important differences between men and women in fitness!
Episode 2 - Fat Distribution: Women’s Lower Body vs. Men’s Abdomen
In this episode, we dive into why men and women store fat differently. Ever heard the terms 'pear-shaped' for women and 'apple-shaped' for men? We’ll explain what these terms mean and why they matter for your health.
We’ll also discuss how hormones influence where fat is stored in the body and what happens to women during menopause. Plus, we’ll share tips on adjusting your fitness routine based on your body type.
Make sure to stick around until the end for helpful insights to support your fitness journey!
