It always seems to me that when I'm trying to lose weight in a certain area, my body chooses another area.
For instance, if I'm trying to lose fat in my arm and legs, first it comes off of my tummy and behind.
Unfortunately, we can't choose where we will lose weight from, but we can learn more about our own bodies and where we gained the weight in the first place.
According to Dr. Marticia Heaner, not everyone gains and loses weight in the same places and where you do gain and lose weight, it is mostly dependent on your genes where it ends up. Still, studies show that most people, no matter the means of weight loss, lose weight in their tummy and abdomen area first.
What Dr. Heaner cannot precisely answer is how we lose fat in other places, like our faces.

I tend to get over excited about things before their time. I don't know what the weather is like across the country, but here in Albany it has been BEAUTIFUL this week.
So naturally, I'm beginning to get very excited about Spring!
I've never been one to exercise outside much more than a jog or walk in the park, but I know some people are very into hiking, swimming, and other outside exercises.
In honor of Spring, let's talk about some ideas for outdoors fitness.
What is your favorite exercise outside? Do you think you get as good of a workout outside as you do inside a gym?
