Exercise: Does not play a role in BEING OBESE, it plays a role in being SLIM AND TRIM! \nIf you are OBESE it would be an EXCELLENT IDEA to start an exercise program ASAP!!! Good Luck!

Yes, as others have said walking is, generally speaking, the best exercise for obese people.  Pleas note:  While walking it is important to maintain proper posture, walk with a purpose, keep your chin up and, shoulders back feel the muscles you are working.  I suggest that people spend their idol time flexing/identifying muscles that they would like to work and develop; for example while standing in line at the bank or standing washing dishes you could be flexing your abs and gluteus maximus (butt).  When you are walking you could relish the moments that a muscle is performing its task by mentally encouraging the muscle; for example as you are walking you could pull your stride with your gluteal, and at the end of the stride contract the gluteus maximus muscle.  If you are not in touch with these muscles don't worry, in time you will be, if you mentally try to identify them as they are being worked.

>>Why don't you just start exercising to lose it? <<\n\nThis specifically doesn't apply to me, I'm Italian, so I'm curvy, and there IS a difference. That comment is the most clueless I've ever seen. Some people that are overweight have health issues and "just exercising" isn't going to fix it. Hypo-thyroidism is one condition that comes to mind. (It's when your thyroid gland - one of the ones the regulates metabolism - is underactive.) Simple exercise can help that condition, but medication is needed.

Excercise more, it increases your blood flow, vein capacity and thus increases your size of veins.  You sort of want your veins to be able to allow for higher volumes of blood, it allows the heart to work less.

if you use more calories in the day than you eat you wil lose weight. so if you are having sex that raises your heart rate then you are using calories. i dont think this should be the only form of exercise-be nice if it could be tho-hehe.

It's just a common belief, carrying extra weight puts an added strain on your body and of course there are many obese/fat people who do little exercise and eat all the wrong foods all the time.\n\nThe stereotype is a fat person taking no exercise and eating fatty/junk food all day washed down with gallons of soda. The fact that some may be large boned, have an illness or do lots of physical activity just doesn't enter their minds.\n\nUntil the majority of people understand that you can be large and still be active or that some people have medical imbalances a fat person will always be seen as a slob, a glutton & one incapable of being active due to their size

You get weight/the tire around your "love handles" and sides from carbohydrates that are stored... lower your sugar and carbohydrate intake. Eat whole grains in moderation, and u will have to exersize to most of the fat there, but you cannot "spot reduce" . do your exersize in the morning on an empty stomach. you will burn stored fat like crazy.

Sit ups are performed by flexing your hips so in order to sit up from a pronate position. Picture a side profile of your hips with your thighs in place in relation to your body. When in the "down" position of sit-ups, your thighs are in a straight line with your body. In the "up" position, your thighs are folded up in relation to your torso. Thought of it this way, it's obvious that sit-ups involve more the flexing of the hips, not the abdominals.\n\nThe abdominals are engaged minimally in sit ups, more as a function of keeping the torso straight during the movement. The abdominals have little active part in the movement itself. Sit ups have an added danger of over stressing the psoas muscles in your back, leading to back pains.\n\nCrunches are performed correctly by curling you trunk by contracting your abdominals in order to bring your ribs closer to your hips. A good image is a picture of rolling your torso up.\n\nAs the movement involved in crunches require the shortening of the distance between the ribs and the pelvis, the abdominals play a large and active part in carrying it out, making crunches the more effective exercise for toning the abdominals.
