Hi
I'm new to exersize and fitness and have a question.
My wife says I look just fine except for my big'ol pot belly. I'm 47 years old, 6'2" tall, about 238lbs (to date) and carry a heavy basketball. (
Really)
Question:
What contributes to this popular syndrome, and how do I get rid of it? I've cut down my food intake by about 1/4 and began walking most every morning. I don't drink alcohol except for 1-2oz of red wine a couple evenings a week.
My weight gain began with my belly and suspect it will be the last to go.
Walking is great exersize but I am wondering if it will help specifically with the belly or do I need to do more. I'm generally enjoying my walks but hope for more benefits appearance- wise than (mainly) fit, muscular legs.
I'm not sure if weight loss and exersize trimming works that way.
I took my trusty Craftsman metal tape measure and read 50" around my widest area. It's been years since I've seen my belt buckle, or tend my feet without leaning over this ball.
