Answer
Dear Miriam, To lose weight with exercise alone you have to do a lot of cardio. Cardio is exercise that raises the heart rate for a sustained amount of time. Weight lifting is not cardio exercise but is aso a good choice to help raise your resting metabolism. Start with bike riding, fast walking, treadmill, or the stepper for at least 30 minutes per day. You should see a weight reduction the first week. Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
