Abstract

Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of walking with diet control and step aerobics with diet control on body mass index, waist circumference and blood pressure in obese women. METHODS: This is an Experimental study in which 30 subjects were randomly assigned to Group A and B. Group A performed Brisk Walking with diet control. Group B performed step aerobic exercise with diet control. CONCLUSION: The study concludes that step aerobics with diet control is the better intervention reduce BMI, waist circumference and blood pressure in obese women as compared to walking with diet control
