Obesity and Exercise

Health Direct Australia

http://www.healthdirect.gov.au/obesity-and-exercise

.

.



If you are obese and want to lose some weight, its important to combine 
healthy eating with regular exercise and physical activity.

http://www.healthdirect.gov.au/obesity

.

Australians are recommended to get at least 30 minutes of 
moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the 
week. Moderate intensity physical activity is any activity that increases 
your heart and breathing rate and may make you sweat, but you are still 
able to hold a normal conversation.

.

You dont need to do 30 minutes of exercise all in one go, you can break it 
up throughout the day into two or three separate 1015 minute sessions. 
This level of activity is a good start to help improve your health and 
help prevent development of chronic conditions such as heart disease and 
diabetes.

.

If you want to lose weight you may need to build up to 4560 minutes of 
moderate-intensity physical activity on most days of the week.

.

Choose activities that you enjoy, as you are more likely to continue doing 
them.

.

Examples of moderate intensity physical activity include:

fast walking

jogging

swimming

tennis

using a step-trainer or similar at gym


.

As well as moderate intensity physical activity also try to include 
strength or resistance training exercise (exercising with weights) as this 
can help you burn fat and increase muscle.

.

Aim to start gradually with short periods of exercise at a time then build 
on it.

.

If you are new to exercise or have pre-existing medical conditions its a 
good idea to talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program. Your 
doctor, physiotherapist or exercise physiologist will be able to provide 
an exercise plan suited to your circumstances.

.

See Australian physical activity guidelines for more information.

general population and scientific studies. However, available evidence 
suggests that regular physical activity reduces the risk of a number of 
eye disorders.
