To transform your body and to feel great you need to exercise.

Putting aside all the complicated, scientific reasons to exercise, exercise offers benefits that dieting just can’t. Exercise allows you to boost your metabolism and turn your body into a fat burning machine. Exercise builds muscle in the places you want, improves body shape and gives you a firm, fit, toned form.

Follow a workout plan, practice healthy eating, and get ample rest and you’ll be on track.

Cardiovascular exercise burns a lot of calories so your exercise regime needs to be centered around this.

You can do any type of cardiovascular exercise, just make sure it’s something you enjoy. Cardio is an integral part of weight loss and it is vital that you like what you are doing in order to stick with it.

For the sake of your knees and joints it is best to start with a low impact exercise such as walking, swimming or using the elliptical machine. If you have access to an elliptical machine/ cross-trainer, give it a try. Exercising on the elliptical also feels much easier than jogging/ running, allowing you to exercise for longer and burn more calories.
