Exercise in itself doesn't reduce bodyfat, you don't even need to exercise to lose bodyfat. All you need is to eat less calories than your body burns.
Exercising can help your body burn more calories (on top of being good for your health), but it doesn't really matter which exercise, anything you enjoy is great.9 -
Running away from the kitchen perhaps?
You really want to think of exercise as being for health, fitness and enjoyment - that way it becomes a great habit for life not a tool for weightloss.7 -
Yeah, I agree. Focus on fork put-downs and table push-aways.
It's about the food for fat loss.
If I ate the way I wanted to there wouldn't be enough hours in the day to exercise that away.4 -

As mentioned, exercise ISN'T for fat loss. You could do the best calorie burning exercise daily, but if you don't eat in a deficit.......................YOU WON'T LOSE.

Are you taking part in a parkrun? I'm finding doing my local parkrun every Saturday is helping me, really enjoying trying to beat my personal best each time, burns tonnes of calories and the community is great! Just this last weekend, I burnt 1,600 calories by doing the Parkrun followed by a day out walking with my partner, was exhausted by the end of the day but thoroughly enjoyed it, that's what is most important, make sure you enjoy it, no matter what you do.0

With the caveat that you shouldn't use exercise to increase your calorie deficit beyond a reasonable weight loss rate (0.5-1% of current weight weekly, preferably the lower end of that):
The best calorie burn comes from any activity you enjoy, so actively want to do and will make time for . . . and I do mean "activity", not necessarily a formal, official exercise. Any form of increased movement is an aid to fitness and health (which is a better reason for exercise than calorie burn as such).
That activity you enjoy and actually do regularly will burn more calories in real life than a theoretically higher calorie burning exercise that you hate, so delay and put off and avoid whenever possible.
Voluntarily making yourself do unpleasant things in order to lose weight . . . isn't usually going to be a good strategy for reaching a healthy weight, then staying there permanently. Find happy habits where eating and activity balance out to accomplish whatever your weight-management goals are at the time, whether healthy gain, sensibly moderate loss or maintenance.3 -
AnnPT77 has it right. I lost 45 pounds training for a marathon.
I HATE running.
As soon as the marathon was done, I decided I could “take a break for a few weeks”..which turned into a year. Meanwhile, I didn’t take that same break from eating. I continued to eat healthy but too many calories. Flash forward a few years, I’m back at square one. I still run, but only a few times a week, mainly because I found I enjoyed triathlons. Mainly I do a lot of cycling, which I like and swimming (which has become surprisingly introspective).6 -
The highest calorie burning exercise I do is snow shoeing...which is not a very practical recommendation for most people. I'm doing well if I get three sessions a year.
The second highest calorie burning exercise I do is swimming, and, as I only fresh water swim as I hate chlorine and can also have problems with saline-cleaned pools, I only can do that a few months of the year.
But I do *moderate* exercise every day.
The BEST exercise is one you will do consistently. So find something(s) you enjoy, and stick to them5 -

You don't burn bodyfat with exercise...you burn a handful more calories than you otherwise would not exercising. In reality, for most people, the number of calories burned during exercise is relatively insignificant to the number of calories they burn merely existing and then going about their day to day. Many people exercise regularly for their overall health and fitness and other benefits...if exercise defaulted to burning bodyfat, they would just wither away and die eventually.
You burn bodyfat when your consume fewer calories than you expend. You expend calories 24/7. For most people, merely existing burns more calories than anything else...for the average female, that's going to be in the neighborhood of 1300-1400 calories...average male is going to be in the neighborhood of 1700-1800 calories just being alive and nothing else.
Regular exercise has numerous health benefits, and I would suggest doing it for that purpose rather than doing a bunch of hand wringing about which will burn the most calories. Additional energy expenditure is just a nice biproduct of regular exercise, but in reality is less than people typically think and is fairly minimal unless you're training like a competitive athlete and literally training the day away for a living.
Find something active that you enjoy and engage in it on a regular basis.4 -
you can not outrun a bad diet.
thats... all I have to say about that.2 -
Hi,
I am new to fitness pal. I have been using this for a little over 3 weeks and continuously eating in a calorie deficit. I am also regularly working out for over 4 months but I still don't see much change in my body shape or on the weight scale. One day, I see a couple of lbs drop on the weight scale but the next day, it's back to the same number. The same goes for body fat. I am 164 Cms and weighs about 152 lbs. I am trying to reach about 145.
Anything that I could possibly be doing wrong or it is just me being impatient?
Any suggestion?
Thanks, much!!0 -

I would suggest starting your own topic so you can get some specific feedback.
Include in your post what you are doing for workouts exactly and how long.
And include how much you are eating daily.
And how much deficit you are trying to take.2
