Hi,

I doubt that aikido makes you thinner.
When looking at the bellies many (male!) aikidoka carry around it looks rather as if it had the opposite effect.
I even think I added weight since starting aikido, but then maybe there is one or more muscle getting stronger.

But I'm an engineer, not a health/ fitness/ medicine expert...just an observation for what it's worth.

Best regards,

Eva
