Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight.Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather tryswitching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers forDisease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were tryingto shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.
In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts:for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in onedelicious Danish pastry(小甜饼). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. "Exerciseby itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President'sCouncil on Physical Fitness and Sports.
Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston UniversityMedical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those whodieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise intotheir daily routine maintained their new weight.
If you have been sedentary (极少活动的)and decide to start walking one mile a day, the addedexercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in food intake,you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietaryadjustments, you may lose even more weight.
