  Exercise may help you to lose weight, however you will more likely lose more weight by making dietary modifications.  It takes the average person over an hour to walk off a chocolate bar, so in my view it’s easier just to not eat so many chocolate bars!  However, exercise is essential for an optimal metabolic rate, stress relief, bone health, and much much more – so it’s still part of a healthy lifestyle!
  
  Hope this helps!

  Exercise is a necessary part of any weight loss programme. The energy benefit of exercise is however small compared to the modifications made through diet.
  Better to think of exercise as ‘activity’ and aim to increase your overall activity- take the stairs, get off the bus one stop earlier, go dancing! The accumulated effect of these small changes can be as significant as 4 extra kilograms of weight loss per year. Reply to this post  |  Report
