How Much Exercise Do You Need for Weight Loss?

If you want to lose weight or prevent weight gain, how much do you need to walk or exercise? The answer seems to be 60 minutes a day of moderate intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, concludes "Physical activity considerations for the treatment and prevention of obesity" in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. While 30 minutes a day of walking can greatly reduce your health risks at any weight, you need more exercise if you want to lose weight or prevent obesity.
