- Q I need to lose weight for health reasons. What forms of exercise do you recommend?
- A A regular programme of both cardiovascular- and resistance-based exercise is fundamental to good health and effective weight management - and all forms of exercise will help weight loss. In terms of calorie burning, weight-bearing activities such as walking, jogging and running burn the most calories, compared with weight-supported activities such as cycling or rowing. Additionally, building muscle mass will also increase your daily calorie burn, because the energy cost of lean muscle is greater than that of body fat. Discuss your plans with your doctor and then obtain professional advice, so that you follow a total body exercise programme which will bring long-lasting results.
