Women who are overweight in their “middle area” are at a higher risk for things like high blood pressure or stroke. So it means that your booty can indicate many things about your health.

This shape of buttocks has fat storage around the love handles. This might mean that you don’t exercise enough or you picked the wrong program for your training that isn’t helping you to burn fat in difficult places.

For both men and women, it can signal that there is excessive consumption of alcohol. If you carry extra weight in your hips, it may increase your risk of osteoarthritis and cellulite.
Recommendations:

- Concentrate on training the lower part of your body. Running and walking can be very useful for you.
