Fitness weight loss

If you are a bit overweight or obese, and looking for ways to lose weight with physical activity or exercise, here are some things to consider.

Understand the role of physical activity in losing weight. According to well established research, physical activity for weight loss only works if it is combined with a low calorie diet or very low calorie diet as exercise on its own is pretty useless for losing weight.

• Go to a part and walk especially on weekends

• Going to a mall and walk if there is inclement weather or too cold or hot outside

• Go hiking

• Consider participating in a marathon

• Consider joining a gym

• Join a swimming club as swimming is a nice way to burn calories fast

• Know the science that exercise, or physical activity on its own, without a restrictive diet is useless for losing weight.

• If your goal is to lose weight, a combined approach with Very low calorie diet or low calorie diet, physical activity, with weight loss pills when medically appropriate should be considered under the care of a trained and experienced weight loss physician.
