Type!
Many people gain weight around the belly. and for most of us it
is quite embarrassing. This takes away the charm of wearing
clothes. This Abdominal fat is very hard to get rid of.Different
people have different fat storage areas. Most men store fat
around the abdomen. This fat is stored in the fat cells. The
number of fat cells remain fixed . However as we store more fat
these cells grow more bigger. The fat cells are stored between
the skin and the muscles and also in deeper tissues called the
visceral fat which surrounds the vital body organs. The way in
which the person puts on weight depends upon the body type of a
particular person.
There are three different body types:
1. The ectomorphs - Those who are slim with slender
muscles. They put on weight around their belly without
corresponding increase in the arms or legs.
2. The mesomorphs - Those who put on weight around the
belly plus arms and legs but usually not on the face.

abdomen, but also around the hips and thighs. Women after their
menopause also put on weight around the abdomen.

spot exercises! The truth is that the body has a complicated
system of fat deposition and fat removal, so exercising a
particular body area results in toning that area, which may
initially look like some sort of inch loss due to tightening of
muscle tissue! But to burn fat on the abdomen, one should follow
a combination of a fat loss diet along with cardiovascular
training and muscle conditioning and de-stressing exercises.
