Tuesday, January 13, 2004Overweight adults who are not on a diet need only a small amount of exercise -- the equivalent of a half-hour of brisk walking per day -- to prevent further weight gain, a study found. Participants who got no exercise during the eight-month study gained an average of almost 2.5 pounds. But 73 percent of those who briskly walked 11 miles a week, or about 30 minutes a day, were able to maintain their weight or even lose a few pounds. Even better, if you exercise and diet, you'll lose more weight than if you just diet. There's another advantage to exercising. After spending so much time and hard work on it, you're less likely to sabotage yourself by cheating on your diet. posted by Sydney on 1/13/2004 08:23:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
