    Just plain old walking is really good, and low impact. If you can walk for an hour a day, every day you would be doing your body a lot of good :)

    The best exercises for losing weight are the ones you enjoy. If you hate it you won't do it. Some exercises burn more than others - ie spinning burns more calories than walking ( and it is more fun). Don't forget to stretch and cool down. Don't hurt yourself. It ain't worth it.

    the best exercises for losing weight are exercises you will actually DO. be that walking, running, biking, going to the gym, swimming, hiking, kickboxing, karate, zumba, or videos like The Firm, 30 Day Shred, P90X, Insanity, Turbo Jam, etc. It doesn't matter WHAT you do....the important thing is to do something that you ENJOY (most especially when you're just starting out, but this holds true even for seasoned exercisers). If you don't enjoy it, you will be more likely to come up with excuses to not do it (then then actually NOT do it). :)

    true story... you need to find something you enjoy. if you hate what you are doing to workout, you'll never stick with it... if you like bike riding, do it! if you like lifting, Do it!

    however i think the answer your looking for(Which this is what i do) is HIIT cardio and weight training. i have an external challenge group that would give you a lot mroe help and consistancy in your workouts. let me know if you want more information.

    There is not one that is better then the others. Any form of physical activity to burn cals and eating at a cal deficit will get you to lose the weight.

    The best exercises are the ones that are varied, challenging and force your body to adapt to new stress.

    For a beginner that could be fast walking mixed with recovery walking. Or aerobic dance with small periods of recovery.

    Do short bursts of intense activity. The easy stuff will burn calories but will not cause significant change unless coupled with a deficit.

    I strongly recommend weight training for adding shape and preserving lean tissue as you lose mass.

    Keep in mind that cardio burns calories & builds endurance, resistance training builds or retains muscle, and yoga helps with flexibility & balance. I try to incorporate all three. Others may choose to focus on one more than the other .....that's OK ... keep it varied to keep your interest.
