Many people often believe that doing some form of regular aerobic exercise is all they need to stay fit and strong. We now know that we need to combine weight lifting and aerobic exercise to keep us healthy and fit.

Joe have lost at least 14 kilos and kept them off for five to 10 years. How did he do it? He exercised every day. He burned more 2,800 calories per week, or about 400 calories daily, with exercise. When you do brisk walking it burns 100 calories, and walking was the most popular mode of aerobic exercise, counting for 1,000 calories per week of caloric burned. The other weekly 1,800 calories were burned up in cross-training with other forms of aerobic activities such as biking. Aerobic activity alone is not enough. You need to lift weights.
