What’s My Choice for Weight Loss Exercise?

The answer is exercise , any exercise. The key is choose one or several that will actually do. The benefit of mone over an other is minimal compared to choosing one(s) you will do. 

This is too big a question to answer in a 500 word blog because the answer really is a little broad you see my answer is movement. That is moving your body thru space. This must be done at a sustained pace or effort for  at least 10 minutes but 20 really is ideal. Too many people think they have to practically kill themselves with exercise to get benefit. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Just a twenty minute walk as if you are late for an appointment will get you on the road to fitness. Remember too that exercise alone will not get the job of weight loss accomplished. You must consume less calories to lose weight and do it in combination with just moderate exercise to win the battle. Forget the marathon I personally know dozens of marathoners who could stand to lose weight.

Just How Many Calories Will I Actually Burn?

The energy you you use is dependent on several factors,how much you weigh, the pace you choose, and the condition you are in. This is one time where being out of shape will actually be to your advantage as the better you are conditioned for exercise the more efficient you become. Here is a chart showing the rates for the calories you will burn taking into account your weight and pace .
