In addition to limiting calories, overweight women may need to exercise 55 minutes per day at least five days per week to sustain a weight loss of 10 % over a period of two years. This is according to a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Research has revealed that the amount of physical activity necessary should be targeted for achieving weight loss and this is difficult to sustain for many people. Making exercise easy and convenient with equipment like ellipticals is a great way to integrate exercise into your daily routine.
