Resolve to Exercise

Monday, June 15, 2009

Make exercise a routine part of your life. Studies have shown that people who diet and exercise shed pounds more quickly than those who just diet or just exercise.

Here are some tips on efficient exercise:

Aerobic exercise is best for burning calories. While the recommended 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days helps lower the risk of heart and other diseases, you’ll have to push a little harder if you want to lose weight.

Exercise harder. If you simply can’t devote 45 minutes a day, seven days a week to exercise, increase your intensity when you do exercise.

Lift weights. Resistance training builds bone density, which guards against osteoporosis and builds muscle.

Talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program to find out which program is right for you.

More exercise helps keep weight off

Overweight women who want to lose weight and keep it off should try to get at least 275 minutes of exercise a week, or about 55 minutes a day for 5 days a week, in addition to limiting calories. Staying in touch with your weight loss team and healthier eating habits may also be important factors in weight loss success.
