Default whats the best exercise?

Don't worry about gym, if you don't have one in your area.......

Lots of people think that they can only start to lose weight and become healthy when they're in the gym......

How wrong!

The straight fact is- just start off on your own, like what you've decided to do - walk or run everyday.

Kudos to your decision and positive attitude in wanting to address your weight problem!

Walk/run for 1-2 miles per day and see your body's response to the regime. Gradually increase the mileage of run or walk when you're stronger, but keep to 60-min per session, daily.

When you've strated to lose fat and then weight, reduce your frequency of running/walking to 4-5 times per week, for 60 mins per session.

Besides walking/running, I suggest you strength-train with weights as well.

This exercise boosts your muscle growth and as muscle is metabolically active meaning it stimulates your metabolism, the more muscle you've, the higher your metabolism, so you get to burn off even more calories, to lose weight.

Strength-train with lighter weights first, then gradually increase your weight. Do it 3-4 times per week, 10-15 mins per session.

On top of these two exercises, eating a well-balanced, healthy, weight-loss nutritious diet is a must too.
