Regular aerobic exercise such as walking or biking, you raise your metabolic rate and burn more calories. Do not be tempted to dive in and workout for an hour the first time. Work up slowly and gradually, or you will probably injure yourself, tire out, and give up.
It may be hard for you to get motivated to workout, and to keep it up for a half hour to an hour. However, you really will be glad you did it after it is over.

Exercising a little every day is better than trying to make up for a missed day or week by overexerting yourself. Overall fat loss requires you to burn up more calories than you take in. Everything you do burns calories, but the more active you are, the more calories you burn.
If, at the end of the day or the end of the week, the number of calories you took in is less than the calories you have burned, then you'll lose weight. On the other hand, if you've eaten more calories than you burned off, you'll gain weight. In other words, the more active you are and the smarter you eat, the more successful you'll be at losing fat. It's that simple.
