Weight Loss - Exercise

How much exercise do you need to do for weight loss purposes. We all know that exercise is good for you, 30 minutes a day being the average target, however this is not sufficient for weight loss purposes.

Moderate exercise for 20-30 minutes five days a week will keep you fit and healthy but if you are overweight you need to work out for twice this amount of time, according to a study study, led by John Jakicic at the Physical Activity and Weight Management Research Centre at the University of Pittsburgh

A group of 200 overweight women were studied over a period of two years and during that time the ones whose weight loss was 10% or more were found to be those that were spending around an hour a day exercising. Many lost 10% in the first six months only to put it back on when they got bored of exercising.

A 10% weight loss target for overweight people represents a tremendous boost for overall well-being, lowering blood pressure, improving heart health and reducing the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

The facts are that if you are using exercise for weight loss you must exercise for longer that the normal 30 minutes which is not sufficient to burn of the body fat. When you have reached your weight loss target you might be able to reduce your exercise time.
