Q&A for How to Lose Weight Just by Exercising

For high-intensity exercise (like going out for a run), warm up with either stretching or a specific movement, like walking or a light jog. If you're preparing to lift weights, you can warm-up by just doing lighter sets of weights. For instance, if you're planning to bench 135 lb (61 kg) for 10 reps, you could warm up with ten 45-lb (20.5 kg) and ten 85-lb (38.5 kg) reps.

It depends on how much you eat. Exercise will absolutely help you lose weight, but only if you burn through more calories than you consume every day.

I recommend starting an exercise regimen of 15-30 minutes of exercise daily to improve your cardiac health. When starting out, I do not recommend intense exercise, which can make you hungry and discouraged from adhering to your diet.

Unfortunately, we cannot target fat loss from any one place on our bodies. However, doing cardio can help you lose overall body fat. Your genetics will determine where it comes off first.

No. There is no one particular exercise you have to do. Create the exercise plan that works for you. For weight loss, the most important type of exercise to do is cardio - things like running, biking, playing sports, etc., where you are moving a lot and getting your heart pumping.

Yes, but you would have to do it for a long time. It would be better exercise to jump without a trampoline, since the trampoline does a lot of the work for you.

This depends entirely on how many calories you're consuming and what type of exercise (and the duration). Cardio-intensive exercise will be best for losing weight; you can track the amount of energy you're burning on treadmills at the gym, a pedometer app, or device such as FitBit. For every 3,500 calories you burn more than you consume, you will lose one pound.

It depends on the cause of the pain and your comfort with using your arm. If there is actual tissue damage in the arm, it would be advisable to take a break until it heals - maybe do some less arm-intensive exercise in the meantime. However, some pain, especially chronic pain, has nothing to do with actual damage; if you know that is the case for you, it should be safe to use your arm normally.

Yes, this should be enough for a optimal workout. If you feel like it, you could push yourself and do more.

Unfortunately, we can't lose weight in one specific spot. However, exercise and diet can help.

You will lose weight most quickly if you do both. But depending on how much or how effectively you exercise, as well as on what your diet is currently like, you could potentially lose weight quickly just by exercising.

You can if you already eat a healthy diet.

Cross-fit and Pilates are both great for toning and strengthening legs and belly. Running is great for burning fat generally, especially if coupled with calorie reduction. Doing Cross-fit one day, and running the next would get you toned and trimmed pretty quickly. Not to mention fit and happy.

No. There is no way to 'spot reduce', or lose weight in one area of your body. Exercise regularly and you will lose weight eventually, though it will not be on just your legs.

As long as you're consuming fewer calories than you burn through exercise, you'll lose weight. The amount of time it will take depends on the gap between calories consumed/calories burned. With regard to your age, you should speak with your doctor before engaging in any strenuous activity.

Start by positioning yourself on the floor face down, with your forearms resting on the ground and elbows directly below your shoulders. Keep your feet together and toes tucked under. Engage your core muscles by contracting your abs, glutes, and thighs. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels. Avoid sagging or raising your hips. Maintain a neutral neck and spine alignment by looking down at the floor about a foot in front of your hands.
