02-27-09 RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—If you’re looking to lose weight through exercise, the standard advice of 30 minutes a day isn’t going to do the trick, according to the American College of Sports Medicine’s new weight loss guidelines. The recommendations were published in this month’s Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise journal.
THE DETAILS: ACSM published “Appropriate Physical Activity Intervention Strategies for Weight Loss and Prevention of Weight Regain for Adults,” updating its previous guidelines. The paper compliments the American Dietetic Association’s Weight Management recommendations through nutrition.

Walk is what I am going to so - thanks for the encouragement!!
Exercising for 30 minutes
I disagree! I started a WALKING program and walked for 30 min. a day to start and the weight poured off me. I could NEVER run for 30 minutes and 60 is out of the question. You just lost a LOT of people by telling them that they couldn't lose weight with 30 minutes a day exercising. YOU CAN! Just walking. I don't power walk but I don't stroll either. I keep up a good clip but I can breath normally and I often sing (I'm rural, so no one hears). Maybe you're talking about those "stick girls" who don't need to lose, they need to gain. It might take them 60 min. of running a day to get anymore flesh off of their bodies but I'm here to tell you, if you're overweight you can MOST CERTAINLY lose weight by walking 30 minutes a day and watching how much at you eat. It's ONLY portion control, you can eat almost anything. I do Weight Watchers, it's for real people and how they really eat. Please, go for it, walk, it's FUN!
