Please don't get anxious when you hear you have to exercise. I am not asking you to run a marathon or spend hours in a gym. You need just enough exercise to push you to the 500 calorie deficit and that’s all. Common sense goes along way when it comes to exercise.
Without exercise your body can’t burn the calories needed to lose weight. Without exercise calories turn into fat and that is what we are trying to avoid.
Exercise: Make It Part Of Your Life
There are those who firmly believe that going to get a snack from the fridge during a commercial qualifies as exercise. I’m sorry to have to tell those people that they are wrong. For an activity to qualify as exercise your heart rate must be raised for a period of time and your muscles must work so that the calories you consumed will be burned off in your muscles.
Some people don't think that a leisurely stroll around the block, or walking up a flight of stairs is exercise. It is exercise and if this is all you can fit into your day then keep doing it. But if you were to sit down and think about exercise what pops into your head, maybe a long walk or playing with your kids? Exercise is any activity which makes you exert yourself.
