Find something you enjoy. Especially if you are just getting started. The exercise that will shed the most pounds is the one you WANT to do regularly. Love moving to music? Take a Zumba class. Love being in the water? Start swimming. Feeling competitive? Challenge friends to play basketball with you. Shy and uncoordinated like me? Take early morning walks or jogs. Consistency is key. If you like it, you'll do it more.

Eat at a caloric deficit for fat loss, do strength training to build and maintain muscle and cardio to strengthen your heart. As far as which exercise is "best", just like there is no such thing as "bad" or " good" food, there is no such thing as "best" exercise. You have to look at your diet and fitness program in context as a whole. Balance and variety are the keys to consistency, which IMO is the cornerstone of energy balance, fitness, health and longevity.

Exercise is for fitness and health. Calorie deficit is for weight loss. One could be perfect with exercise, but won't out exercise a calorie surplus.

I would have to say,, Intervals on Treadmill 4x a week along with nutritional eating and water intake. The pds doesn't fall off as quick but the inches sure do. I will take them both!

I found that mixing up your workouts, and that spontaneity and creativity/the i.e. the mental perspective you take on is imperative because it delineates to you whether your mindset is stuck in a rigid, long and/or laborious workout plan…. is what really works weight loss wonders. I'm all about efficiency when it comes to workout in order to save time. I found the most effective and resilient to relapse/yo yo dieting is my mental outlook/perspective and mindset: Always thinking of NEW ways just when i get used to one way…always problem solving and taking on weight loss/health as a sort of challenge that you are facing with your body: it's out of self love and appreciation.. .the more you can harness positive emotions/thinking/creativity and change, the more efficient you will be for yourself, the happier your body will be (because mind effects body, the two are quite tied to each other which is why stress can cause weight gain because you release the hormone cortisol which in excess can cause weight gain)… Thus, meditating before or after… or even making your workout meditative, and ALWAYS focusing on your breathing.

It's quite important to have patience, it takes months to cultivate the mindset, takes lots of tweaking and adjusting, but taking it one moment at a time alleviates the daunting aspect of "I"Ll have to (weight) HOW LONG to lose weight!?" Changing that mindset is the real start to shedding the most pounds. The exercise of the mind. The more you exercise those mind muscles, the quicker things align within to figure out the best solutions for your weight loss/healthy lifestyle.

I have found that focused walking with positive mental imagery and self talk work wonders. Short jogs/running even 5 to 10 minutes a few times a week… having a "No matter what's list" where you write down your "trouble area workouts" for me it's just 2… which means.. NO MATTER what I will do my stomach crunches and leg lifts everyday/no matter how stressed or blessed or negative I feel. That way, even fi you "go off your diet" you are still reinforcing yourself and feeling like you're doing good by keeping those "Trouble areas" in motion.

FOOD is very important. For me, not eating after 8 has been like the quickest way to weight loss… My metabolism slows WAY down. Eating SLOW and thoughtfully and chewing each bite has shown to aid in great progress in my weight loss. All of this together will make for the greatest health/weight loss experience:

meditation
positive self talk
walking
jogging
no matter whats list.. meaning.. "i can't get to my whole workout, but i will do these regardless of time crunch… (usually no matter whats are the shortest set of reps or small end of your entire workout)"
creativity/spontaniety/changing up workouts/problem solving + working WITH your body
eating SLOWLY (less stressed = less cortisol release = more weight loss)
breathe while you eat too,
make sure you're not breathing to shallow throughout the day
DRINK LOTS OF WATER. (cleans out impurities and allows mind to think clearer and organs to function better)
Strength Training empowers you as well. even light reps. arm lifts/leg lifts/crunches/ and breathing focus while you do them
Fruits/veggies/protein/
i really cut out almost all carbs/grains in forms of bread and such… anything iwht wheat/flour i TRULY try to avoid.. I found I shed weight like no other.


I was once 160 5'1. I'm not 5'1 101lbs. My frame is very tiny and I struggle because of metabolic issues. I've struggled greatly especially


the exercise of love sheds the most pounds, I'm not kidding you.
Try it!

Thank you! I believe it is God through Love that is helping me right now! I can do this!

No exercise sheds pounds. Calorie deficits shed pounds. Lifting heavy helps ensure that most of those pounds are fat.

Use MFP app to log all your food intake and calorie burn and stay under the calorie goal it has set for you every day. Invest in a good heartrate monitor that will tell you how many calories you've burned everytime you workout, so when when you log in your exercise you're not guessing, or going by an estimate that's preprogrammed in. Be accurate and remain under your daily goals and you'll see the weight start coming off. The best exercise for you is whatever you can tolerate and whatever you enjoy doing. Once you start seeing the calories burned on your heartrate monitor you'll discover what works best for you. Do whatever you will enjoy the most because that's what you'll continue to do. Take a group fitness class, walk, dance in your living room to your favorite music. Jogging 4 times a week didn't work for me because I have bad joints. You can achieve the same calorie burn with a stationary bike and other forms of cardio - it's about your heartrate. Make sure you talk to your doctor about your plans.

And good luck to you!!!

Fork put downs, table pushbacks and seconds-skipping.

They say weight loss is 80% diet, 20% exercise, and I've found it to be true.

I totally agree! I log everything I eat even if I go over.
When I first started out I did only cardio. What a big mistake! I lost too much muscle and am now working to build.
I work out 5 days a week. I have been focusing on Strength/resistance training. I jog for 20-30 min depending on my time(although my knees have been bothering me so I may go back to the elliptical)
