Another reason to be committed to exercise and clean eating, other than if you look good on spring break, is the dangers that abdominal fat presents in relation to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Most women carry fat on their bottoms and thighs (my worst places), especially as they get older. If you train regularly for cardiovascular and weight training, this helps reduce that body fat, and helps build bone density (especially important for women).
Create an environment that you need to remain loyal to your workout (buddy system, new classes, trainer, or a gym) and receive the benefits of continued good health, more mental focus, and more energy.
