Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health or wellness. It is performed for various reasons. These include strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, and can even augment an individual's sex appeal or body image, which again is also linked with higher levels of self-esteem. Childhood obesity is a growing global concern and physical exercise may help decrease the effects of childhood obesity in developed countries.

What exercise machine should I use at the gym?
Q. Over the summer I want to start exercising; I wish to slim down my thighs and get a firm butt. Which is the best exercise machine (that would be available at a local YMCA) that could help me do these things? Also, when is it the least crowded at the gym?

How much exercise do I need to do daily to lose weight quickly?
Q. I'm a 21 year old male, I'm 5'11" and weigh around 13 and a half stone (188 pounds). I want to lose some weight quickly. A few months back I lost over a stone and a half in about three months just from eating a more sensible diet, with hardly any extra exercise. Unfortunately this weight has now crept back on again! I'd like to lose between a stone and a half and two stones more quickly now. Does anyone have any tips about how much daily exercise I should do - and what types also - in order to lose weight healthily and quickly? Thanks.

A. Losing weight is all about counting calories, as you found out the last time. I've found that a brisk walk for about a half hour will burn about 200 calories... not much. But it's enough, when combined with a healthy diet, to lose weight at about a pound a week. If you want to lose it quicker, double the length of time to about an hour, or simply run instead of walking. Swimming is an excellent calorie burner as is a brisk bicycle ride as well. For more calorie burning tips, visit one of my favorite sites:

A. Swim. Pools exercise every muscle in the body, and if you swim enough you will get so toned! I suggest going at least once a week, for at least one hour of laps. Even just playing around with friends is good exercise. You need to eat lots of food with proteins and good fats. Protein: Soy, Tofu, Oatmeal, etc. Good Fats: Nuts, Olive Oil, Peanut Oil, etc. If you don't have access to a pool, I suggest running for 20 minutes a day, preferably with weights. Also, lift weights.
