Walking
Walking is said to be one of the best exercises for losing weight. The percentage of fat burning is around the 50% mark, however as with all exercises it really depends on the intensity of effort.
Walking not only burns a good proportion of stored fat it can also burn a large amount of calories especially performed for longer durations and at a brisk pace.
A good balance between the percentage of fat and the total calories burn's should be the basis behind choosing any exercise for losing weight.
Calories
Cutting back on calories (energy IN) will help you lose weight. To lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, adults should cut back their calorie intake by 500 to 1,000 calories a day.
For overweight children or teens, it’s important to slow the rate of weight gain; however, reduced-calorie diets aren’t advised before you talk to a health care provider
