Catalina, try increasing the intensity and then slowing down, interval training. We can increase muscle mass in an area which will make the body look younger and firmer, but when we lose fat, we lose it all over, not area by area. Am on the Climera estrogen patches have gained 70 lbs am hungry and tried all the time the only exercise I can do is to swim but its hard to get motivated. Glad to hear your answer on the midriff area. Then, you should start feeling stronger and more energetic and can add some resistance training to your program.
Recent studies indicate weight training is better for bone building than calcium supplements.
Opadopa, go ahead with your question. I have palpitations quite often, worn halter monitor, checked out ok. Missy, go ahead with your question. Muscle weighs more than fat and you may gain weight but lose fat. Using a bathroom scale won't help you understand your body composition.
