Exercising allows your body to burn more calories. This can also be achieved by simply moving more through your daily activities . You do not necessarily need to jump on a treadmill and run for an hour, 7 days a week. You simply need to move more and watch what you eat. If your calorie allotment is 1500, you need to make sure you are burning more than 1500 calories to achieve your weight lose goal.
Suggestion: wear a pedometer and make it a goal to take 10,000 steps per day. If your weight loss starts to slow down after consistently taking 10,000 steps, you need to make it a goal to take more than 10,000 steps per day to continue the weight loss.
