As we saw before, exercise helps with weight loss, but it appears to be essential to weight maintenance. A whopping 93 percent of NWCR participants reported using some type of physical activity to keep their weight off, with walking being the most popular form of exercise.
Twenty-eight percent of participants used only walking as their main form of exercise, while about half used a combination of walking and some other type of planned exercise, such as aerobics classes, swimming, or biking. How much activity did they engage in? NWCR surveys indicate that participants engaged in 60 to 90 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise on most days of the week.
