[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 50 and I’m just getting back into exercise now that I have some time. Will one hour of strength training 3 days per week and one hour of walking 4 days per week be enough? [b]My goal is to lose 8 pounds [/b]and build muscle. Do I need to up the walking to 7 days per week?[/quote]

Enough to lose weight? No. That comes from diet. [/quote]

I don't understand all the people who keep commenting that diet is the sole source of weight loss. I need to lose weight but eat a healthy diet - and I'm not losing weight. I lost weight when I combined that healthier eating with physical activity.
Depending on the individual and their specific circumstances, sure - some people can lose some weight just by changing their diet. And I don't doubt that anyone currently overweight and not eating a healthy diet will lose at least some weight by changing their diet alone. But 25#? 50#? More?

And why discourage people from exercising? Regardless of weight, physical activity is really important to good health![/quote]
