Article on how long you should exercise to get desired results, etc.

I thought this was interesting and wanted to share.

Karen Miller-Kovach, MS, RD, chief scientist at Weigh****chers International, says the amount of everyday activity recommended by Weigh****chers depends on your goals. The table below outlines Miller-Kovach's suggested duration of everyday activities done at a moderate intensity level with respect to an individual's goals.

And while you may be surprised that the recommendation is higher for keeping weight off than it is for taking it off, several research studies have found this to be true. Why? Most likely there are two reasons: People are willing to reduce food intake to a greater extent during active weight loss than for the long term, and once people "get into" activity and feel the benefits, they choose to do more.

It's important to remember that to have an impact, this activity should be done in addition to your usual routine on most days of the week.

If the goal is:	Add an additional:
To receive the health benefits from activity	30 minutes
To boost weight loss	45 minutes
To sustain the weight loss you have achieved	60 minutes

I find this to be very true!
