Weight-loss should be enjoyable and easy to follow. As well as following a healthy diet, burning calories can help you lose weight and keep it off. Try to match the type of exercise to your weight loss programme.

Quick start

Perhaps you just want to loose a little weight so you can do your belt up a notch tighter? You've go to move-it move-it! Even if you don't love exercising, you can still boost your energy level and burn calories. During the work week, escape the office for a lunchtime walk. Instead of taking the escalator, walk up the stairs

Steady slim

For a longer-term weight loss programme, adding physical activity to your plan can accelerate your weight loss and give you more energy. There are plenty of ways to squeeze in physical activity to even the busiest of schedules. Make a point of picking a parking spot that's farther away so you have to walk to get to the grocery store or mall. Or, get the kids involved and go on a walk after work.

Doctor's orders

You may have a long road to health and activity ahead, but it's not just about eating right, being physically active is important too. Incorporating exercise into your day speeds up your weight loss and can help decrease your risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. You'll be surprise; small changes in your daily routing can make a difference.

Gym kit

If you want to exercise but are nervous about going to the gym and looking out of place, get your gym kit sorted. Look for plain cotton separates or coolmax items that keep you cool and soak up sweat. Do not wear overly baggy stuff - you need to feel comfortable and not be restricted. So don’t be afraid of fabrics that have Lycra content, it means it will stretch rather than look shiny. Dark colours are good for confidence boosting and won’t make you stick out. Just team plain basics with a good sports bra. Make sure it fits properly so 50% of breast movement is reduced and you don’t get sagging later on.
