It is well documented in various studies throughout the last 20-30 years that the proper exercise routine is as vital a component as a food plan is to your weight loss success and is a key component to enhance your overall health and physical ability for long term weight maintenance.

Seventy five percent of the calories we consume are used to keep our bodies functioning and fueled throughout the day. The other twenty five percent are used up in physical activity. When we eat more calories than we use during the day, those calories are stored by the body as fat, and we gain weight. Therefore it is critical when trying to lose weight that you focus on the amount of physical activity that you do each day and make exercise an integral part of your daily routine.
