Exercising to lose weight

In order to lose weight, you need to use up more energy than your body takes in from food and drink.

This can be done through consuming fewer calories or burning calories through increase exercise. It's easy to find excuses not to exercise - I'm too tired after work, I don't have time, I'm not into sport, I'm too big/old but there are many options out there including using the healthcheck are of this site and your local pharmacy team who can help. Here are a few tips to getting started:

  • Use the stairs instead of the lift
  • Get off the bus/tube a stop early and walk the extra
  • If you work in a large building, use the toilets on a different floor!
  • Go for a walk at lunchtime
  • Instead of lunching suggest going for a walk in the park with friends
  • Don't sit when you can stand - it burns more calories!
