Is walking enough for weight loss?

Walking is an excellent starting point.

For many people, combining aerobic activity with resistance training provides additional benefits.

Why is strength training important during weight loss?

Weight loss can include loss of muscle.

Resistance training and adequate protein can help preserve muscle mass.

Can exercise reduce belly fat?

Regular physical activity can reduce overall body fat and improve metabolic health.

There is no reliable exercise that selectively removes fat from only one part of the body.

How much exercise should I do?

The amount should be individualised according to your age, fitness level and medical conditions.
