PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

§  To lose a pound of fat you need to burn more .Walking briskly is a good way to start increasing your physical activity if you are obese. Combining increased physical activity with a good diet will significantly increase your chances of losing weight successfully and permanently. The more you move your body the more calories you burn.

§  Discover the activities which you can fit into your daily schedule. Anything that becomes part of your daily life, weaved into your existing lifestyle, is more likely to become a long-term habit. If you use an elevator, try getting off one or two floors before your destination and walking the rest. You could try the same when driving your car or taking any form of public transport – set out early and walk that bit more.

§  If any of your regular shops are within walking distance, try leaving your car at home. You can leave your car at home and walk to the store because most of these stores are close to our where we live.

If you are very obese, check with your doctor before increasing your physical activities.
