Exercise can be over rated for actual weight loss. The benefits for your overall wellbeing is very clear, but if you look at the calories burned, its not much. I'll give you my example. I run 5 miles 3 times a week. It generally takes me about 40 minutes a run and I burn about 700 calories a run. Thats about one cheeseburger. Skip an extra snack and you equal your run. I lost most of my extra 15 pounds prior to running by just following a few easy principles. Make healthier food choices. Eat only at designated meals. Avoid any fast food. No eating after 9:00pm (that was the toughest). Limit alcohol to 1-2 glasses of red wine a day. Nothing earth shattering about it.
