What you need to do is make a small change, determine if it's a positive step and continue. Don't consider current activities (biking to work, etc.) as your workout - you need to create a 3-5 day routine (1/2 hr to 1 hr) that will help build muscle and drive towards the goal of being healthier WHICH includes reducing your weight. | |

| Aug 22, 2012 at 21:00 | comment | added | Kobojunkie | I bike 5 miles each way to work each day, through traffic. My thinking is that since I exercise 5 days a week, then I should get better results than if I was, say exercising only 3 days a week or less. But my friend doesn't even exercise much but the weight seems to be dropping off so easy just on a diet, and a couple of minutes of exercise 3 days a week. | |
