These days, obesity is a major concern since it is rising significantly along with the frequency of co-occurring diseases like type 2 diabetes and hypertension. The purpose of the current research is to evaluate how diet and Zumba exercise affect obese women's physiques and some biochemical indicators. From December 2023 to May 2024, a randomized experiment was held at the Faculty of Physical Education GYM in Alexandria. Participants were one hundred adult obese women without any other medical conditions and 30 to 34.9 kg/m2 is an acceptable average for a BMI (Class I obesity). Four groups of participants were formed; the first group was the control group, which received no assistance. The interventions for the other three groups were limited to nutrition and physical exercise. The other three groups received equivalent nutritional and physical activity interventions or treatments that included diet and exercise exclusively. Changes in body weight and composition were the primary outcome measure, while other biochemical indicators indicating the risk of chronic illness were the secondary ones. The results examined metabolic indicators and demonstrated that it is not reasonable to expect significant weight loss from training or diet adjustment for obese persons. The fourth group had the strongest effect, and there were notable disparities between it and the other groups. So, it should combine a modified diet with physical activity. Despite the reduction effects of diet exercise improves body weight, BMI, lipid profile, liver enzymes, and hematology indices which may have important benefits on several diseases later in life
