Instructions

    • 1

      Walk briskly for one to two hours a day to burn between 600 and 900 calories. This can be broken up throughout the day.

    • 2

      Eat healthily by incorporating plenty of fruits and vegetables, oily fish and brown rice into your diet. Avoid fast food and sugary soft drinks. Always eat breakfast, as this will help to speed up metabolism. Eat small meals regularly, because depriving yourself will cause you to gain weight in the long run.

      Do 30 to 60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise, such as running, cycling or swimming, at least three times a week. These activities aid weight loss by burning fat at a sustained rate. Aim for a heart rate of 70 percent of your maximum when doing these exercises.

      Calculate your maximum heart rate in beats per minute by subtracting your age from 220.

      Measure your heart rate during exercise by pressing the first two fingers into the side of the wrist and counting the number of beats for six seconds. Multiply this number by 10 to find your heart rate.
