Step #6: Exercise for Weight Loss

Once you reach the maximum amount of exercise you’re willing and able to commit to…

Gradually increase the intensity, or how hard exercise.

To be specific:

Increase your exercise heart rate by no more than approximately 5 beats per minute (bpm) every sixth day of exercise.
How do I take my exercise heart rate?

Example:

If your exercise heart rate is currently around 130 bpm, exercise continuously at no more than 135 bpm on your sixth exercise session.

If it’s difficult to exercise at a higher intensity for your entire workout, you can increase your intensity in intervals.

Example:

1. Exercise at 130 bpm for 5 minutes.
2. Exercise at 135 bpm for 5 minutes.
3. Repeat until you achieve your total exercise time.
