So eating healthy is only one aspect of a healthy life. Exercise in another. In order to burn enough calories each day to have a big enough defict you got to exercise.
One of my favorite "new" forms of exercise is Yoga. As I have menitioned before I have the Bob Harper's Weight Lose Yoga video. I love it. I feel so good after I do the video. Also, before I got hurt, was playing soccer several nights a week. It's great high intensity workout. It doesn't really matter how long you workout, it matters how long you have an elevated heart rate.
I used to jog/walk for exercise back in the day and was always baffled as to why I would lose 10 pound right away and then get stuck. Well, one because I was doing the same form of exercise day in and day out, so my body had adjusted and wasn't burning as many calories. I have learned that best part in muscle confusion exercise. Where you do one exercise (say push-ups) for 30 reps and the you do jumpimng jacks while your arms rest, then you do sit ups and the legs and arms rest but you never let your heart rate lower. It's that constant confusion that keeps your body burning calories. I guess that is why I love doing bootcamp this summer. I had someone who new the right progression and just told me and I did it. It hard to know what routine to do if you have never done it before. That's why I am also like workout videos. I just ordered Jillian Michael's 90 day body revolution that goes off of this exercise philosophy. I'll review it after I get started.
Anyways, Bottom line get moving 3-5 days a week. Don't forget to rest at least once a week so your body can repair the damage you did while exercising.
