I swam for years and always kept in great shape.
I quit for 2 years. After turning 41, which was 7 months ago, I started back up again. I swim 5 days a week for an hour, mostly freestyle. I'm in great shape again everywhere except for this stomach fat I can't seem to lose. Can anyone recommend any good workouts that can get rid of this?
Hard intervals of any type of exercise tend to burn more calories than steady state exercise. So if they are leaner in the waist, it just means they are burning more calories off than they eat. On some people, the waist is much more sensitive to processed carbs, especially women as we get older. Eat foods closer to their source(i.e fruits, veggies, whole grains), and stay away from highly processed foods, and it helps. Don't need to go away from carbs, just choose wisely on the types of carbs.
