How to Burn Calories
We burn calories every second, even if
we do no exercise. Thousands of chemical reactions occur inside our body
which require energy. Also, we need energy for breathing, seeing, and
all the other bodily functions that go on continuously. About 60 percent
of all our calories are burned to provide our body with this basic energy.
However, if we want to lose weight, we
may need to burn extra calories, and the best way to do this is by taking
more exercise.
Some weight loss products like: diet pills,
weight loss supplements and 'fat-burners', claim to burn extra calories,
but none of these claims have been medically proven. Exercise is still
the best way to burn calories. Exercise also helps to keep your body in
good condition and is excellent for diet-motivation.
How Exercise Helps You to Lose Weight

these calories in about 106 minutes.
- In addition, exercise helps to raise
your metabolic rate, which makes it easier to lose weight.

figures are approximate. They are based on a 150 pound woman. If you weigh
