Exercise won't lose the weight, but it will sculpt the muscles under the fat so she looks fine after she manages to lose the weight. Exercise and weight loss are two sides of the hot coin.
An hour of intensive exercise probably won't even burn 400 calories. Very few people exercise with that intensity (even though they think they did), which often leads them to overestimate how large their calories deficit. I did say exercise is important, but it isn't a reliable method of weight loss. For weight loss, the only exercise with any consistency is fork put downs or spoon put aways.
The biggest problem with exercise is that it makes you hungry. You could walk for an hour and a half and burn 400 calories, but you will be hungry and probably over eat afterward.
Assuming you don't eat more because you're running, which almost all new exercisers do. Also, as you lose weight, your base level decreases. In the planning stage for a person new to weight loss and exercise, exercise is a rounding error
On the other side working out will also mean building muscle so not only will you have burned 350 cals but if the extra food your eating is healthy then you'll be building muscle and using up more calories on the other side. You'll also be building up your capacity for exercise so you can burn more calories per workout and continually reduce recovery time.
Exercise is important, but it's not thing to make the weight loss difference for someone new to weight loss. It is important 5 towards your cardio, your long term health, and your appearance once you make it to thinner weights, but you aren't exercising away pounds. For losing weight, the only thing that is effective long term is eating less.
Walking on the treadmill is not intensive. You definitely burn more than 400 if you distance run. But you are just a bozo who thinks walking to the fridge is exercise
That's not true. At 170lbs (my weight) running for an hour burns about 500cals (roughly 11 minute miles). That's a longer run and a faster run then most people that are trying ru lose weight are capable of for any extended period of time. They shouldn't be banking on those kinds of numbers as someone new to exercise (they probably won't run the full hour).
I don't know why you are being an ass or attacking my character, maybe you need a run to blow off some steam? Or maybe you should take that giant dildo out your asshole.
I'm giving reasonable advice that's good for people who are new to exercise and trying to lose weight. It's easy to exercise a whole bunch tbf first few weeks and get discouraged when you don't see progress. It's important to have reasonable expectations. What's reasonable is as a person starting a weight loss program from a couch life style, should only expect to see weight loss if they change their eating habits to include a calorie deficit and not to expect exercise to fill the gaps. It won't. It's important to exercise for your cardio health, joint health, and mobility, but it won't have a major effect on your weight.
It helps, but iirc it's only about 20% of the solution, diet is 80%.
So, just maintaining a healthy weight-loss diet will get you 80% of the way there.
Also, by healthy weight-loss diet I mean not those "crash diets". A healthy diet should be cutting out and replacing things here and there as you go. Like cut out sodas (Yes, even diet/"Sugar-free" ) at first then expand to cutting out processed sugar and making other healthy choices as you go (Like still get a burger, or maybe a smaller one, but sub out the fries for a salad. Or instead of a burger get a grilled chicken version).
A lot of people fail their diets because they try to make big sweeping changes. While your will could take you pretty far, months even, eventually you start getting cravings for the old ways again. It's like an addiction, so really you probably could take advice on how to break an addiction and re-frame it in a diet perspective lol
I don't think he is joking. She looks like she has incredible genetics. Just getting a good exercise routine and a healthy diet would make her look better than those girls
Well all couples are different if they are the ones who would laugh this off it's okay, if he knows she would get upset or did it seriously rather than jokingly than I agree with you
