A 30-minute workout session, five days a week, is enough to burn calories and lose weight.Knowing your daily caloric requirement to maintain your weight can also help you lose weight. It takes burning 3,500 calories to lose a pound. So, if your daily caloric requirement to maintain your weight is 2,500 calories, you’ll need to either eat less or exercise more. How much depends on how much weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it.
Experts recommend aiming to lose just a pound or two per week for the most sustainable weight loss. To lower your calories by 3,500 to 7,000 a week, you’ll need to shoot for a 500 to 1,000 calorie deficit each day. You can do this all through diet, exercise, or a combination of the two.
