EXERCISE

Exercise is needed as part of any plan to achieve and maintain good health.  However, if your goal is to lose excess fat, exercise alone will not be sufficient.
The goal of exercising is to improve your cardio-vascular health.

When beginning a program of regular exercise, do not make the mistake of attempting too much too quickly.

Your physical activity should be gradually increased to improve your cardiovascular health and tone your lean muscle mass.  You will start to feel and look better with a healthy, lean body regardless of any weight change.

Try to do 30 to 60 minutes of walking 4 to 5 days a week.   If you are seriously debilitated you will have to wait until your health improves.   As your health improves you can undertake more aggressive exercise.   It is a good idea to see your doctor if you propose to start vigorous exercising.
