Exercising to lose weight is a no-brainer. When you engage in regular exercise you burn more calories than you would normally. The more calories you burn the easier it is to keep your weight and body fat under control. Make sure that when you exercise to lose weight you follow a regular schedule and spend a minimum of 30 minutes per day to ensure you are getting your heart rate up enough to make an impact. It is recommended to work out at least 3 days per week but the more the better.
Your weight is determined by the number of calories you eat each day minus what your body uses. Everything you eat contains calories and everything you do uses calories including eating, sleeping, talking, breathing, digesting food, and exercise. In order to control you weight you need balance the amount of calories you take in with the amount you use. If you burn more than you take in you will lose weight.

Stress Reduction and Other Mental Benefits
Exercise is one of the best stress relievers I have ever used personally. If you are having a stressful day take a job or go to the gym for 30 minutes and you feel the effects immediately. Improved self-esteem is another one of the top benefits from regular exercise. Scientific studies have shown that your brain releases chemicals called endorphins that naturally improve your mood, boost your energy levels, and relax you once your done working out. The feeling following a workout is described as “euphoric” and is accompanied by a energy burst. Some people say they get an adrenaline like effect that makes their body feel so good that they actually get addicted to exercise.
Disease Prevention and Cures
One of the best things about exercise is the ability to control, reduce, or even cure certain illnesses like heart disease. By strengthening your heart muscles you will be able to put more load on your heart without taking in all the negative effects. This will help you prevent strokes and control blood pressure as you get older. It is also proven that regular exercise will increase your life span.
