Like any exercise, you have to do a lot of it and often to burn fat. Once or twice a week for 30 minutes is not going to make a huge difference. Not heard about people feeling more hungry after eating - however, if that is true, it is just a psychological effect. Hunger is natural and nobody is forced to eat.

I ask this because I've read somewhere that it does not because people feel more hungry after swimming and eat more. But the question is that if the diet is constant i.e. not increased after swimming, is it a good calories burning exercise? Thank you! Hi, I’d like to know if swimming can help fat loss.

Steady workouts burn calories, work the muscles, get you active. Exercising outdoors, especially on a day like this, is also great. However, some people do believe that more intensive exercise is better for not only fitness but also burning off fat. Really, the most important thing as far as I am concerned is to do what is most enjoyable. I will be going for a walk later rather than sweating away in my garage gym! Enjoy the weather. You can always go running, cycling, hiking instead. Hi Ariana, this is somewhat open to debate. Steady workouts burn calories, work the muscles, get you active.

I have a question on exercise. On a beautiful day such as today, if I were to walk for 2 hours at a moderate pace I'd burn 600 calories, roughly speaking (from what I understand). Is this not as effective as working out one hour in the gym (elliptical trainer, bike) and burning 600 cals? I sweat a lot more in the gym but does that mean it is better for me than the 2 hr walk? Thank you. P.S. This is one of the best fitness blogs I have come across -- great work. Good morning. I have a question on exercise.

However, I wanted to add a new entry and don't see where I can log in as my user name and write a new entry. Are you not accepting new entries as of now? I'm a little confused. Thanks, Toni Hi John,
