I'm Exercising But Not Losing Weight - Why?

Are you exercising every day to help lose weight but finding no change when you step on the scale?
Before I answer to your question, let me share with you some facts:
1. It takes 3500 calories to add up to one pound. This means you have to burn 3500 more calories to lose a pound of fat.
2. You need to burn 500 calories each day and continue this over a period of seven days to reduce 3500 calories.
How much exercise does it take to actually burn off 500 calories?
It would actually take the equivalent of six or seven hours of intense activity for the average person to melt off a pound of fat. This would have to be an activity that keeps you too short of breath to easily speak and you would have to keep it up continuously, for 60 minutes every day, to promote one pound of fat loss in a week. So if you're going for a ten minute stroll every day, you can forget seeing any results from this activity.
So, 10 minutes walking won't help you to get rid of belly fat fast. Regular brisk walking for 30-40 minutes and at least for 5 days per week is good for preventing weight re-gain after dieters have lost weight.
The best plan for fat loss is a combination of eating less than you have been, while adding exercise to your routine as well, and working these new habits into your daily lifestyle.
