Consistent aerobic exercise will help you change your body
composition by lowering your percentage of body fat. If
weight loss is a goal, combine an increase in the length of
your workouts with a moderate decrease in caloric intake. For
weight control, how long and how often you exercise is more
important than how hard you exercise.
ƒƒ
Exercise four to five times a week.
ƒƒ
Try to reach and maintain 60-75 percent of your
maximum heart rate with moderate exercise.
ƒƒ
Exercise for 30-45 minutes at 60-65 percent of your
target heart rate.
Here are some tips to achieving your weight management goal:
ƒƒ
Consume most of your dietary calories at breakfast and
lunch, and eat a light dinner. Do not eat close to
bedtime.
ƒƒ
Exercise before meals. Moderate exercise will help
suppress your appetite.
ƒƒ
Take exercise breaks throughout the day to help
increase metabolism (calorie expenditure).
