Exercises Regularly to Lose Weight

Exercise combined with the proper diet is an effective means to lose weight. Only about 5% of people who intend to lose weight actually succeed in maintaining that weight loss. Most people who lose weight gain it back within one to three years. People who can maintain that weight loss tend to follow the same basic principles: They exercise regularly, they keep track of their weight, they have the support of others, and they recognize that it's a lifetime change instead of short-term program.

If you want to lose weight and stay healthy, you will absolutely need to exercise at least three days a week. Exercising on a regular basis requires focused thought and determination; it requires an extra expenditure of energy and the effort of creating a new habit. About 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity on most days of the week is sufficient to improve physical fitness and the 30 minutes can be accumulated in segments of ten minutes duration. So control your weight by eating healthy and exercising regularly.
