    Exercise is not only good for weight – it preserves muscle, improves mood, and strengthens heart health.

    Strength Training

    2-3 sessions per week is recommended. Preserves muscle mass during weight loss and increases metabolism. Start with basic exercises like squats, push-ups, and rows.

    Cardio Training

    Brisk walking, cycling, or swimming 150 minutes per week. Improves cardiovascular health and increases energy expenditure.

    Start Right

    If you haven't exercised in a while, start carefully. Walking is an excellent start. Gradually increase intensity and duration.

    Frequently asked questions

    No, but exercise enhances results and helps you maintain weight long-term.
    I have joint pain, can I still exercise?
