Andy	Running and swimming is a good start, but have a look at what you eat too!.. If you are training hard you could increase your protein intake and reduce fat,carbs, caffeine and sugar.. Combined with regular excercise of any sort this will make the weight fall off. Dont under nourish yourself though. Try 5 small meals a day instead of 3. Any excercise that makes you sweat for half an hour is excellent and drink lots of water. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

perfecttiming1	The best thing you can do for weight loss is cardiovascular exercises. Depending on how bad a shape your in; you could start walking every morning or evening for thirty minutes. Try and gradually increase your pace so that your burning more calories, but start slow. If you jump into it and make yourself sore; your likely not to want to continue. Regardless of what kind of exercise you do; diet has everything to do with weight loss. Just go to the gym and notice how many fat people are there working out. They huh and they puff, and then they stop at McDonald's on their way home. All their good intentions washed away in a flurry of fat and cholesterol. Probably the best exercise advise is an old adage: Do push-aways. That's where when you sitting at the table thinking about a second helping, or nice slice of pie; you apply pressure on the edge of the table, push away and leave............

tigger3003uk	Try a mixture of something cardio, like jogging, with something a bit calmer, like yoga. Also, swimming is excellent as its the only sport to exercise your whole body in one go. If you do a mixture of things its likely to keep you interested for longer and stop you getting bored. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fatjackmorrison	play golf but walk don't ride Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dirtgirl1967	i would suggest a combination of walking (or some other cardiovascular exercise) 3-4 days a week and another type of activity that builds muscle 3 days a week--yoga works. or weights if you have access to them. walk at a pace that elevates your heart rate. the cardio will burn calories. and building muscle will tone your body and make it appear slimmer faster. also, i have found that if i write down everything i eat while i am trying to get in shape i can see when i might be eating more than i think i am. but, don't restrict your calories too much or you will mess with your metabolism and get "stuck". finally, get a body fat scale. Tanita makes good ones. body fat composition is more important than weight alone. good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rachelsweet2001	I would agree with the swimming as it use all your muscles and has the water for buoyancy, start slowly and as time goes on then build up you will find it will tone and the endorphins will make you feel great. Other wonderful exercise is walking maybe getting off the bus at a stop before you own then walking to your office,going out on the weekends with friends or a partner walking somewhere this will help keep your bones healthy and is good cardio vascular. What about Pilate's I have become hooked and in a period of six weeks I can see a difference and it works wonders for your stomach! What ever exercise you choose make sure it is one you enjoy as the worse thing is doing it and finding reasons not to continue.If the weight does not shift do not get despondent because it goes on quicker than coming off, just keep going and the results will appear. Other thought a bike ride in good weather what a great way to move around and keep healthy. Your eating sounds fine drink loads of water. Just put your mind to it call it changing your life style and looking after your body for the future. Good Luck You can do it.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
