Obesity is an body fat increase. Overweight is a relative body weight
increase when compared to the standard. Overweight then became
a term that represented "obesity" both clinically and
epidemiologically. Flexibility is the effectiveness of a person in

area of the joint. The design used in this study is a 2x2 factorial. It
is explained about factorial experiments that what is measured is not
only the influence of the main factor of each independent variable
on the dependent variable, but also the influence of the interaction
between the independent variables. The population in this study is
the 50 members of Larasati gymnastics in Semarang, who in
productive age women between 30-40 years.The number of samples
is quite representative (representing) for the large population in this
study. The sampling technique in this study was using purposive
sampling, which is a sampling technique determined by giving
equal opportunity to each member of the population as a sample,
namely the number is adjusted to the member of the subject in each
group, the experimental group of obesity type pear and apple type
obesity control group. Based on the results of the research achieved,
it turns out that women who have high flexibility have a large
reduction in fat if they have the apple type of obesity. Women who
have high flexibility with apple obesity type have a better decrease
in body fat than women with low flexibility and have pear obesity
