• 1

  Decide what physical activities you enjoy. Picking activities that you enjoy will ensure that you stick to them. Don’t pick something another person likes just because they say it’s a good exercise for losing weight. If it’s not something you enjoy and will stick with then it’s not a good exercise for you.

  Go on-line and find out how many calories you will burn during a certain activity. There are also books with this information that you could check out from the library. This is how you will decide what activities to incorporate into your day to achieve your weight loss goals. If your goal is to lose weight by exercising, while eating the same, then you must burn more calories through exercise than you take in through food consumption. You have to burn in excess of 3,500 calories to lose one pound. So, to lose a pound a week you’d have to burn 500 extra calories a day. Pick exercises that will achieve the amount of calories burned to attain your weekly goal.

  Concentrate on doing various types of activities. If an activity you really like doesn’t burn a lot of calories it’s still all right to do it. You'll also want to do another activity on your list that burns more calories and do it more often to achieve greater weight loss. At the beginning, you will burn more calories automatically because you weigh more. You will have to adjust for this as time goes by and your weight decreases.

  Set aside time to do your exercises. You should work your way up to exercising five to six days a week for at least 30 minutes each day. Working up to an hour a day would be optimal for weight loss and overall health. This is the plan you must follow and stick to in order to lose weight by exercising while eating the same.
