We are always trying to find the secret ingredient to losing weight. Unfortunately there is no one thing that you can do. Instead we need a combination of a healthy diet plan and an exercise routine.
A new fat loss study however is showing one thing that has proven to work very well. The number of days you exercise per week has a huge impact with weight loss. This study took individuals and broke them up into groups. One group did no exercise, one group exercised 2 times/week, one group exercised 3-4 times/week, and one group did 4 or more time/week for 8 weeks. Each person had to do 30 minutes of exercise per workout session.
The study found that the group that exercised 4 or more times per week saw the only significant weight change over 8 weeks. In fact they lost on average 13.3lbs. The other two exercise groups lost an average of 4lbs while the control group who did not exercise gained an average of 1.2lbs.
What we can take from this study is that the number of days that exercise is performed will have an astounding effect on overall fat loss. When you start an exercise program you need to make sure you are performing a routine for at least 4 days per week. This can be a combination of strength training and cardio training. There is no excuse not to be able to fit 4 days of 30 minutes of exercise into your schedule. Remember though, just adding an exercise program will not guarantee weight loss. You must also implement a healthy eating plan.
