Exercise for your health! It has been calculated that 1 pound of body fat is equal to 3500 calories. (OMG! Are you kidding me?!) This means that in order to lose 1 pound we have to walk for about 12.5 hours. So don't expect fast weight loss and remember to eat sensibly.

The mood and feel-good benefits, however, are immediate and the health benefits of exercise are endless. So GET ACTIVE!!
