What is the muffin top?
As described recently by Dr. Kathryn H. Schmitz, a muffin top is a name for the abdominal fat that tends to spill out over the pants – looking like a muffin top. Quite a neat name I think.
She was discussing it in relation to another scientific paper showing the benefits of weight training for weight loss. In this case in pre-menopausal women over 2 years.
If you are slugging away at aerobic workouts, and have not incorporated weight/resistance training into your weight loss program then you should do something about it…yesterday!
