I was talking to my sister the other day, and she mentioned wanting to start doing some strength training too. Then, like most conversations between women, the topic turned to those problem areas we can’t seem to get rid of. I wish I had smaller thighs (like her) and she wishes we could trade arms. LOL!

It got me thinking about all the shapes women come in. Even those from the same family. My sister’s an apple (I’m telling all your secrets, Ash) and I’m a pear. But what does that mean? And does our shape dictate how and where we lose weight?

Yes it does! Not only that but our shape may be linked to health issues! Here’s an article that talks more about what to do if you carry weight in your middle, and what to do if the junk’s in your trunk:

Of course, there’s no such thing as spot losing but if you know your shape and diet and exercise accordingly, you’ll see much better results!
