But it needs to be done consistantly and with variations so that you should not feel fatigue and give it up. Exercise is the assured way to loose weight and get shape.

Even though the holidays can be difficult, they also provide us with a fresh start. In your case, they'll serve as an incentive to walk more! That's a good thing! re: fish and veggies Excellent! That's a wonderful foundation for good health! Be well! JP Thank you, Belen! :)

The holidays made me lazy and made me eat more than the usual. It's time to walk on the healthy road again. Thanks for this article...it was like a wake-up call.

Just because you go walking, doesn’t mean that you should allow yourself extra calories on that day." I am very guilty of this. My wife and I live down the street from a Dairy Queen. We have ourselves convinced that it is not that bad because we walked there and back. I am sure that would have to be done many more times to work off the ice cream we just consumed. I need to get healthier this coming year. I am out of shape and over weight. Thanks for the encouragement. “Stop using food as a reward for exercise.

It's invaluable to receive "reports from the field" such as that. :) I've read several studies that substantiate that type of strategy. It not only makes sense but appears to be more practical for many people. Sounds like a winning combination. :) Be well! JP Thank you for sharing that, Troy!

It's also cool when science supports our intuition. :) Be well! JP Linda,

Multiple brief periods of moderately vigorous (zone 3) to very vigorous (Zone 4) physical exertion with periods of compete rest in between. So imagine five or six 5 to 7 min bursts of fun engaging activity per day vs. xx min on the treadmill. Thus we advocate increasing activity by accumulation rather than longer blocks of time. This pattern is fun for kids and can overcomes the can't exercise because (fill in the blank) resistance of adults.

I practise calorie restriction with optimal nutrition (CRON) and do a 20-minute exercise stint most days that lifts my mood and controls hunger. I’ve begun doing this pre-meal lately, which works very well. I wondered about the wisdom of this, but then considered that hunter-gatherers and animals in the wild expend most energy while running on empty, i.e. in order to find or capture their food, and then rest after consuming it.
