Don’t underestimate daily activity

Physical activity is essential for weight loss. Exercise, in addition to having numerous health advantages, can help in the burning of extra calories that cannot be lost by diet alone. Walking, running, jogging, swimming, and even dancing are examples of physical activity.

Most people think that in order to lose weight, they must participate in frequent high-intensity workouts. While including this type of activity in your daily routine might help you lose weight and increase muscle, it isn't required to achieve healthy body weight. It's just as important to be active every day by raising your step count and sitting less than it is to go to the gym a few times a week. It's important to gradually improve your activity level if you're currently sedentary. If you're only getting approximately 1,000 steps per day, try to get to 2,500 steps on most days of the week, which is about one mile (1.6 km).
