What Is Obesity?

CDC defines obesity as “Weight that is higher than what is considered healthy for a given height.” In other words, your body has more fat than what is taken to be ideal. A common determinant for obesity is your BMI (Body Mass Index); if your BMI index is 30 and above you are regarded as obese.

In the U.S. more than one in three persons are obese. The CDC puts the obesity prevalence rate [1*] at 42.4% and terms it a “common, serious, and costly disease.” However, your BMI index is just probationary. A doctor still needs to carry out more tests to indeed settle that you are obese.

What to Do for Weight Loss?

While it might seem like a death knell, obesity is manageable. Whether you’re actually obese, know someone with the condition, or your warning lights are already beeping, here are some easy workout solutions to beat it.

1. Walking

Your obesity-free journey could all begin with a walk around the block. The fact is, it’s the most popular form of exercise because it costs you literally nothing other than your time. A study in the Journal of Exercise Nutrition and Biochemistry found that women participants lost 1.5% fat and cut 1.1 inches around their waists after 50-70 minute walks three days a week for 12 weeks.

In addition to regular walking, here’s what you can do to increase how much fat you burn:

• Increasing your pace
• Walking uphill
