How much exercise does it take to burn body fat?

Answer 1

That depends on many factors such as one's age, current height and weight, muscle

mass, dietary habits, and many other variables. For many people, having 30 minutes

of vigorous exercise per day, at least 5 days a week will produce favorable results

within the first 2-3 months after beginning the routine. Walking 5 miles per day would

also be good. With losing fat, watching what you eat can be just as important as

how much you exercise. Before beginning any exercise program it is best to consult

with your doctor.

Answer 2

It depends on what type of exercise you are doing. To lose one solid pound of fat, you need to burn 3,500 more calories than you consume. Different types of exercise will burn these calories in different amounts of time. For example, you will have to do less jump roping exercises to burn of one pound than you would have to spend time walking.

Answer 3

A pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories (give or take a few).

And for all of you remedial math students, if you burn an extra 500 calories every day of the week, you should lose 1 pound of fat per week.

Answer 4

One pound of fat equals 3500 calories. Depending on their intensity, different workouts will burn calories at different rates. The more intense the workout, the faster you will burn calories. That being said, moderate exercise (of your choice, that you enjoy) for at least 30 minutes each day is recommended for optimal health. You should consult a health care professional if you are interested in weight loss.

Answer 5

Well, in order to burn 1 pound of fat a week, you need to burn 3500 calories. So, the longer and more intense your workout is, the more calories you will burn.
