A member asked:
Is light cardio better than intense cardio for weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
To lose weight: You need to burn off calories. It's 3500 calories to the pound. Obviously, intense exercise will burn more calories than light exercise, but whatever exercise you can do, combined w/caloric restriction will help. Check w/your doctor to see if you're fit enough before doing any exercise program.
