Episode description
It's been proven, time and time again: eating healthy and exercising regularly will help you lose weight.
But, which exercises are the best to help you achieve weight loss success, while losing the weight safely?
Right off the bat, walking is the number-one exercise for weight loss. It doesn't require any equipment (other than a pair of walking shoes), and there's no need for a gym membership to do it.
Vigorous swimming can burn anywhere from 400 to 700 calories an hour, and all types of swimming are effective for helping you shed pounds.
These are just a few of the great exercises John P. Higgins, MD, discusses in order to help you lose weight the right way.
