It is recommended that you engage in some sort of aerobic activity at least three times a week for a minimum of 20 minutes per session to gain the health advantages of exercise. If you want to reduce weight, though, you should exercise for more than 20 minutes. Daily moderate exercise of 15 minutes — such as walking one mile — can burn up to 100 calories (provided you don't eat too many calories afterward). Over the course of a year, burning 700 calories per week can result in a weight loss of 10 pounds.
