daily exercise: You won't be able to normalize your bmi with exercise alone. You should aim for daily exercise of 30-60 minutes but you'll also need to reduce the number of calories you consume if you want to lose weight. Check out: www.Caloriecount.Com - open a free account.

High BMI: That BMI puts you in an "overweight" category. You should do cardiovascular exercise on most days of the week, shooting for 30-60 minutes for each session. You also need to eat prudently and engage proper portion sizes. You should shoot for a BMI no higher than 25.
