And we can not forget that the abdomen is an area of the body where there is more tendency to fat accumulation, in both men and women, especially with the advent of the menopause. “In the abdomen there are many layers of fat, some of which are very old, being therefore very attached to the abdomen, so it is quite difficult to eliminate only with the diet. If you perform cardio and abdominal exercise at the same time as diet, it will get the older, deeper layers of fat to be welded from the abdomen, so it will be easier for them to be removed, ”the doctor points out.
