Walking a mile briskly burns about 100 calories. Permanent fat loss is a slow process. It takes time for the body to adapt to the metabolic changes that are brought about by appropriate habits of diet and exercise. The bathroom scale cannot tell the difference between water, muscle, or fat loss. Monitor your progress by taking body measurements each month, if possible.
Exercise speeds up metabolism.
A faster metabolism burns more calories. So stay active. Make exercise fun and part of your lifestyle. Always get a medical check-up before starting any exercise program. Work with a certified exercise leader to learn how to exercise safely.
