This is another very important component to the Program. Medical literature the world over, is filled with data that shows that exercise, when combined with a healthy diet, is the best way for you to reach your ideal weight and maintain it.

Dr. Rose will help you plan a physical activity routine. Remember, you do not have to join a gym or purchase expensive equipment. You should try to allow for 30 - 40 minutes of some form of cardio-vascular activity, four to five times a week.
Brisk walking is a simple yet perfect activity and is strongly recommended. We are fully aware that a lot of patients have very busy schedules, and we have come up with some original ideas for you to find time to exercise. We also have a list of businesses that sell used exercise equipment, and a list of the best exercise tapes available.
Physical activity or exercise will not only burn calories. It will increase your lean muscle mass. Why is this important? The more lean mass you have, the more calories you burn at rest. This is why exercise is so vital to keeping weight off for the long term.

We would like you to be committed. Your results will reflect your effort. The less effort, the less you lose, the less you lose, the more your discontent, the more your discontent, the less your motivation, the less your motivation, well it's a vicious circle, and its one of the reasons we see so much 'yo-yo' dieting. Baby steps are better than none at all.
