They studied 160 overweight policemen who participated in a 12-week weight loss program. Each policeman was assigned to either an weight loss exercise exercise group or a non-exercise weight loss exercise group, and then to one of four diets. Eighteen months after the program was over, the subjects were weight loss exercise reassessed. The researchers found that regardless of diet, the non-exercise group gained back all of the weight lost in the 12-week program. In contrast, the exercise group maintained a weight loss of approximately 10 to 12 pounds. Exercise and Fat Distribution In addition to the effect exercise has on weight loss and fat loss, exercise favorably alters body fat distribution. Scientific evidence suggests the way some people store fat affects their health. Fat stored in the abdominal area increases the risk of coronary heart disease, Type II diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. A waist-to-hip ratio that exceeds .80 for women and .95 for men places them at greater risk for these diseases.
