Exercise does not contribute much toward weight loss, but it changes the way your body processes food and helps in that way, plus muscle burns more calories. If you are not used to exercising, it is best to start out slow. Maybe start out with 2 smaller exercise sessions per day. Add more time gradually. Everyday activities like walking or cleaning the house contribute to exercise too. Get a Fitbit that will track your steps and remind you to get up and move every hour. It all adds up. You will do more if you are doing something you enjoy. Sometimes I really have to push myself to exercise but once I get going I enjoy it and feel so much better after I do it. You can even put on some music and dance. Get some hand held weights and exercise while watching tv. Do leg lifts while sitting in your chair. Your body will love you for it. Your muscles will be more toned and you will look smaller without even losing any weight.
