It's Not About BMI Anymore

All the research now shows that the biggest health risk is belly fat. To keep risk low, experts say a measurement of under 35 inches for women and 40 inches for men is best. Research has found that women who have waists over 37 inches have an 80% higher risk of various conditions, including heart disease and cancer. Scary, right?

The best way to keep your number in check: Regular exercise- ideally, 45 minutes of vigorous  aerobic activity… Group Active, Spinning, Group Kick, Zumba 3 times a week, and three 15-20 minutes sessions of resistance training (like Group Power!)
You get the idea, right? JUST GET MOVING!
