Excess abdominal fat is linked to poor metabolic health. It increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and premature death. It is linked to insulin resistance, high blood pressure, abnormal blood fats and inflammation. Aerobic exercises decrease abdominal fat better than weight training.Scientist combined the results of many studies using a statistical technique called meta-analysis and ended up with a sample size of more than 2,000 people. Most studies found that aerobic excecise decreased abdominal fat, while weight training studies used low intensities, so theresults might not apply to more serious trainers.
