[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a bit of a strange situation. My DH runs 5-6x/week. He monitors his steps. He makes sure to stand while he's working from home. He eats salad and vegetables frequently. He's a very healthy guy, I would say. Despite this, he still has what most people would call "flab" on his chest and midsection. He isn't "ripped", if that's the crux of this.

I am naturally thin. My mom was thin, and despite having 4 children, I'm still in 00 pants. I don't work out ever. I don't run. I eat poorly... lots of sweets and fatty things. I am a sucker for fast food. I wish I wasn't. Despite this, I look like I am in better shape than my DH. [/quote]

+1. But I wasn’t brave enough to post it... :lol: [/quote]

The solution is simple. DHs have to incorporate strength training. It doesn't have to be weights (although dumbells and barbells are the most efficient and effective for strength training). Push-ups, chin-ups, a suspenion trainer (e.g. TRX) can work as well. The muscles need to be worked, and what is more, should be worked. They only fade with age, but if you work them, they respond. If DH is already conscientious about exercising, he will see rapid progress with strength training.

The same goes for DWs. Strength training does amazing things for women, too.
