Exercise for your health!It has been calculated that 1 pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories. This means that in order to lose 1 pound we have to walk for about 12.5 hours. So don’t expect fast weight loss and remember to eat sensibly. The mood and feel-good benefits, however, are immediate and the health benefits of exercise are endless. So GET ACTIVE!!
Good website, I recently came across it and I am already a fan. I just dropped thirty pounds in 30 days, and I want to share my weight loss success with as many people as possible. If I can lose weight then any one can. Whatever you do, never give up and you WILL reach every one of your weight loss targets!
