What is the most effective workout for weight loss especially for obese people?
I am not asking for obvious answers such as they have to eat less or eat healthier.
I would like to know your opinion on the workout part, what and how obese people should work out.
Thanks

Walking briskly 30 minutes a day minimum.
well, now, ur right that eating healthier wont help. eating LESS will help, but if you can’t, then you have get rid of those calories. this is not practical for most people, but it IS theoretically possible if you swim, dig ditches, dance, lift weights ALL DAY EVERY DAY. this is because exercise burns up very few calories, so u have to do HUGE amounts of it. this is why people tell u to eat less, because it is the only PRACTICAL way to do it. so don’t shoot the messenger.
cardiac…. go to fitnessmagazine.com it helped me a lot. and do a lot of ab exercises. when it comes to dieting eat non-processed foods and when you get out of control hungry, drink a carbonated water.
Pushing away from the table.
If this person weighs a lot, they should do water aerobics. It burns calories and because you are weightless in the water, it is not hard on your muscles and joints. If the person is really heavy, even brisk walking can hurt the hip and knee joints. Try to find a heated pool you can workout in. If you can’t find one then ask your doctor if he can prescribe physical therapy for you to help you learn how to do exercises that won’t hurt your joints.
First get an ok from the doctor then start walking increasing the distance as able. Swimming is also a good one.
OK – just the workout portion. It has been found that walking fairly briskly [though you can start out slowly and build up] is most effective.
Long slow endurance exercises on a regular basis. A regular program of daily exercises of varying intensity so that there are light days, moderate days and at least one challenging day. The times frames may vary but at least 30 minutes on the light days, at least 1 hr on the moderate and at the minium 2 hrs on the challenging day. Intensity will be dependent on the person’s age & training heart rate. It is extremely important to stay within the training heart rate range – too low will not effectively burn calories, too high will not help at all. Obese people must be consistent in maintaining the program over a very long period – upwards in the 18month bracket for any noticable improvement.
Drinking water is extremely important during the entire day and should consist of 1/2 the body weight in ounces. For example, 250lbs – 125 oz of water during the day. Not sodas nor energy drinks nor diet drinks. Water will replenish moisture from sweat & to fluid out toxins. This is much more important than eating.
Quantity is more important than what one eats. Use a smaller plate & no seconds.
..Good Luck, Fats.. you probably can’t do it… most weak people give up…
and you are welcome.
Smaller portions, more walking according to doctors advice. Eating only half of what is on your plate, regardless of what your Mom taught you about eating everything on your plate.
Close your mouth and move more!
Stop eating food -
Eat healthy and walk.
Find a sport you enjoy and pursue that.If you live in a pretty neighborhood then walk to your destinations.Engage your self with a group that lives a healthy lifestyle.
A really obese person should first of all check with a doctor. Once the doctor okays a workout plan you can do any of the following for starters
walking
swimming
cardio workout with a trainer at a gym
Once the person gets used to exercise, you can move on to more strenuous exercise, like speed walking, jogging, running, etc.
And of course, no junk food, easy on the starches, sweets, and concentrate on wholesome food -lots of fruits and veggies, some chicken or fish. That should do it!
Start walking, it is cheap and it works but you also have to stop bending your elbow to put the fork into your mouth.
