9. Exercise is just as important to losing weight as looking at your diet - but not necessarily for the reasons you think
Many people believe that the reason exercise helps you lose weight is by burning up lots of calories. While running for half an hour or doing an aerobics class may burn up one to two hundred calories, this is still not a lot compared to the amount your body will need during the day even if you’re sitting still. Most of the calories you burn in a day are used to keep your body alive and that amount, known as the Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR. Only around 20% of the calories you need are used in physical activity.
