How much to exercise for healthy weight loss

January 5, 2009

How much to exercise for healthy weight loss? Before answering this question, there is one more question to answer, what is your goal in losing weight? As soon as we find the answer to the second question, we can easily calculate the amount of exercise to be done. The amount of exercise is based on the knowledge of energy burned in a minute with various exercises.

An example to make a better understanding of the process is that you want to lose about 10 kilograms in 20 weeks, which is ½ kilo per week.

The quantity of exercise needed for losing ½ kilo of fat per week: – it has been judged that half a kilo of body fat is equivalent to 4000 calories. So if our target is to burn ½ kilo of fat in a week then we will have to burn 2500 calories in week and 600 calories each day. So on the following figures calk out an exercise chart so that you can know which exercise will burn how many calories, and in what time.

Some other factors to be taken into consideration when deciding the amount of exercise to be done for weight loss are:-

-    Individual weight loss goals: – the amount of exercise for an individual depends upon the individual’s goal. For an obese person who is also watching his food intake, a five hour exercise per week will show the greatest weight loss.

-    Individual level of motivation: – motivation levels are more important as they make us do what we want to do.

-    Individual fitness levels: – the fitness of a person determines to a great extent, the amount of exercise one can do in real and with what intensity.

-    Individual energy levels: – just like our fitness, the energy levels also shows the amount of exercise one can do in a day.

-    Preferred exercise program: – for a long term benefit, a program which includes aerobics and strength training exercise works the best as aerobic burn a lot of calories during the workout and strength training enhances the metabolic rate.

-    The attitude towards exercise: – something is better then nothing is well applied in exercise. One will only gain something while doing a little also.

-    Consistently of exercise:- for the best long term affect, one needs to exercise consistently on daily, weekly and monthly cycles.

Keep in mind that the above factors are subject to change. To lose down calories, spend more and eat less. It is the key to lead you to the kind of success you want.
