Exercise is a vital component to weight loss. If you get it right it can increase you weight loss by huge amounts or if you get it wrong it can hold your weight loss efforts back. Many people believe that more exercise you do the more weight you will lose, however this isn't the best way. There is a way where you can do minimum exercise an reap maximum results.
Cardio is a great way to burn fat while you workout. However after the workout it doesn't do much good, it will raise you metabolism for a few hours but that's about it. All that sweating and panting for just a few hours of raised metabolism.
Many people do cardio for an hour and hope to lose weight. They perform the same workout week in week out and then realise that they aren't losing the weight they want. This isn't a great motivator and eventually people will give up. Your body won't change if you don't change your workout, it has no need to change. Even though you will be burning more calories and therefore should be losing weight, your body will adapt to the workout and will start to store fat so it can be burned off again in the same workout.
Your must challenge your body at every workout. To do this you must increase the intensity and progress as your body becomes fitter. Increase the intensity by either increasing the amount of exercise you do in a certain time or increase the time. I don't recommend the latter because this won't be as effective as increasing the intensity and keeping the time the same. By doing this way you will be able to easily progress with your workouts and won't have to spend any extra time.
I recommend just doing 20 minutes of high intensity exercise that challenges you. Your must work at 90% of you full potential. This will stimulate your bodies muscles and will force them to grow and strengthen. Increasing your muscle mass will increase the number of calories your burn throughout the day and will make weight loss easy.
