Calorie counting without exercise

Yeh you don't have to work out at all if you don't want too. As long as you have a calorie deficit. I find working out speeds things a long though. Also good for toning

While clean and healthy eating is 80% of the weight loss journey, exercise is extremely important for a healthy heart and a healthy life. You absolutely don't need a gym. I work out from home 6-7 days a week; while I do use the 21 Day Fix videos primarily, I also walk and use my own body weight for many of my workouts. Moving 30 minutes a day (walking, dancing, cleaning etc.) is vital for your health in the long run. Yes, you can lose by diet alone, but eventually, you will need exercise to accompany your healthy diet for maximum healthy results.

My advice is it depends on height and weight working out is good in a part because it helps you gain muscles plus helps you stay active more if you cant afford the gym you can always try home exercises i do that especially cardio you can buy dumbbells and pull strings it helps alot and keep tracking your calories everyones body is different good luck

I can't afford a gym and haven't got much time in my day, but my size and calorie allowance are so low that I'd never get to eat anything if I didn't exercise to earn it. I've found a few things that work for me or my friends:

- the Sworkit app (free, interesting, varied and it syncs with MFP to log your personal calorie burn for you!)
- inexpensive local classes (for instance, I found an aikido group that offers up to three two-hour classes a week for £18 a month, which is financially feasible for me and gives me accountability to actually go train)
- YouTube workout videos (free! my mother swears by these for herself)
- walking to run errands instead of taking public transit (I don't have a car, so walking saves money over transit and usually takes me two to six hours, so it burns a fair few calories; cycling would also work)
