Both groups exercising for 3 days/week for 12 weeks. Examining the effects of different exercises regimes on fasting measures of lipids, changes in body weight, BMI and WHR .Results: It showed that group (A) had significant decrease where group (B) had highly significant decrease (P=0.0001) in BMI , WHR , LDL , TC & FTG . However, group A showed that significant increase in HDL (P=0.0001). In comparing between group A and group B there is significant difference in improvement Compared to group A, group B showed highly significant improvement .Conclusion:Therefore, combination exercise training should be recommended for overweight and abdominal obese postmenopausal woman in National Physical Activity Guidelines
