Daily exercise is the quickest way to lose weight

Save your money. Stop spending a fortune on gasoline just getting to the gym. There are plenty of natural and healthy ways to lose weight. Going to the gym or health club is great. If you don't mind spending $4.00 a gallon to get there! And another $50 a month for your membership. There are less expensive options!
It takes a little longer to achieve conditioning results through walking than through more strenuous activities, but not much. One study showed, for example, that jogging a mile in 8 1/2 minutes bums only 26 more calories than walking a mile in 12 minutes. Conditioning benefits from walking improve dramatically if you increase the pace to faster than 3 miles per hour (20-minute mile).

In another study, participants burned an average of 66 calories per mile walking 3 miles per hour, but 124 calories per mile when they increased the pace to 5 miles per hour. There's no doubt the simple pleasure of walking can lead to a trimmer, healthier body!

How about a water aerobics class at your local pool? Exercise in water places less stress on your joints and can be an excellent overall workout.

Or, you can spend less than a dollar a day and buy your own low-impact exercise equipment. Get some weights, maybe a rowing machine or a BowFlex TreadClimber and burn way more calories than yu would on a conventional treadmill.

Low impact exercise equipment in your extra bedroom helps you get rid of fat and keeps you on the road to getting in shape fast. All from the comfort of home! Put in your favorite tunes or watch a funny video while you workout on your own exercise equipment.

Remember to keep eating healthy- if you want to lose weight. Exercise and healthy eating are the quickest way to lose weight! And keep it off. Maintain a consistent level of activity - sports and exercise. And enjoy a healthy diet.
