A member asked:

Could you tell me how much exercise do you need to lose weight without changing your diet?

Weight loss: To lose weight you have to burn more calories than you take in. For most people you have to decrease your caloric intake. It is best to decrease calories to 1800 or less and exercise minimum half hour a day aerobically to lose weight and maintain. Without knowing how many calories you're eating in, can't calculate how many you need to burn.
