Press Release Body: If there's a miracle recipe for weight loss, the main ingredient
is exercise. Regular exercise will help you reach and maintain your healthy weight.
But even more, physical activity will give you more energy, improve your mood, and
reduce your risk of developing some chronic diseases.

The basic equations for weight loss are straightforward:

Calories Consumed > Calories Used = Weight Gain
Calories Consumed < Calories Used = Weight Loss
Calories Consumed = Calories Used = Weight Control

The formula is simple. Reduce your calories and increase your exercise and the
weight will come off.
To lose weight, experts recommend that you do 30 minutes of moderate intensity
physical activity five or more days a week. In addition, you should follow a healthy
eating plan and consume fewer calories than you burn each day. Remember that your
weight will be affected by the balance of "calories consumed" and "calories used."
The best weight loss programs include both physical activity and calorie
restriction.
Unfortunately, studies show once you have lost weight it's extremely difficult to
keep it off. In order to maintain your weight especially after losing it, you must
continue to exercise, eat healthy foods and keep the number of calories you eat
equal to or below the calories you use. Studies show that physical activity is by
far the best way to use more calories than you consume. Exercise is a major
component of all successful long-term weight control.
One way to meet your increased exercise goals is by participating in aerobic
activities. Aerobic exercise includes any activity that makes you breathe hard and
increases your heart rate for a sustained period of time. Some popular aerobic
activities include walking, swimming, and bicycling.
Experts recommend moderate-intensity exercise. The exercise is moderate if you are
breathing harder and it is difficult to talk, but you can still carry on a
conversation. Remember, if you are just starting, don't over do it. Start slowly
work up to a moderate-intensity pace.
Whether your goal is to achieve and maintain a healthy weight or improve your
health, becoming physically active is a step in the right direction. It is never too
early or too late to make exercise a part of your life!
So remember, the number of calories you eat must be less than the number of calories
you use in order to lose weight. Increased physical activity is the easiest way to
use more calories than you take in. Start exercising today.
