Pilates exercise: Each exercise will be ranged from 1 to 3 minutes, with a break of 10 seconds. The exercises include: Flat Abs: Pilates Hundred; Flat Abs: Roll-Up; Obliques: Twist and Reach; Lower Back: Shoulder Bridge; Lower Body: Kneeling Side Kicks; Lower Body: Leg Swings; Stamina: Wall Chair.
Intermittent Fasting Diet: This fasting regimen involves fasting for 16 hours each day and limiting eating to an 8-hour window. The 16:8 intermittent fasting protocol is relatively straightforward. It divides the day into two main periods: the fasting period which is 16 hours and the 8 hours eating window .
Study summary
This study aims to compare the effect of pilates exercises versus intermittent fasting diet on physical and metabolic aging parameters in obese perimenopausal women.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Body weight — 12 weeks Weight will be measured in kilograms by weight-height scale for all participants before and after treatment program.
Body mass index — 12 weeks It will be measured by weight-height scale by dividing body weight in kilograms by height meter square.
Waist circumference — 12 weeks The waist circumference will be measured in centimeters at the narrowest point between xipho-sternum and the iliac crest at the end of a gentle expiration.
Hip circumference — 12 weeks Hip circumference will be measured in centimeters at the maximum circumference at the level of the femoral trochanter.
Waist-hip ratio — 12 weeks It will be calculated by dividing waist circumference by hip circumference for all participants before and after treatment.
Resting Heart Rate Measurement — 12 weeks Resting heart rate (RHR) is the number of heartbeats per minute (bpm) when a person is at complete rest. It is a simple indicator of cardiovascular health. it will be measured by pulse oximeter.
Normal Range: Adults: 60-100 bpm
Maximum Heart Rate — 12 weeks It will be calculated through equation: 220- age
Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) — 12 weeks It will be calculated through the equation:VO2 max = 15.3 x (maximum heart rate / resting heart rate).
