The minimum daily requirement of exercise to prevent weight gain is 30
minutes a day of walking, or 12 miles a week of walking or running. A
study of sedentary,
overweight men and women (aged 40-65 years) showed they lost body fat
and weight when they walked or ran 12 miles a week during an 8-month
study, without changing their diet. A control group of non-exercisers
all gained weight and fat during the 8-month study.
