There is no doubt that women deal with many different issues when it comes to fitness than men do. While both men and women have their share of weight problems, men just don't seem to face the same types of struggles that women do. Women deal with more fat than men, simply because they have female hormones and men don't. Women's bodies are designed to carry more fat then men's because of the ability they have to give birth. In fact, if you look at the differences between boys and girls before puberty you won't see much difference in body shape at all.
Men also burn more calories than women do during exercise or at rest.
This is simply because a man has more muscle mass than a women, therefore his metabolic rate is higher. That also explains why men can lose weight so much faster than women. Body fat percentage norms for women are higher than they are for men. If that woman is you and you are still trying to rid your body of all visible fat then you might need to take a step back and think. Take heart in the knowledge that most women face the same issue.
