  Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance(保持)of body weight.Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to“light”beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion(体能).The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight aduhs who were trying to remove pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.

  In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure(卡路里的消耗)charts; for example, one would have to actively walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry(小甜饼).Even exercise professionals admit half a point here.“Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight,”says York Onnen, program director of the President’ s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

  Still, exercisers supporting role in weight reduction is important.A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed(证实)that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine(常规)maintained their new weight.

  If you have been sedentary(极少活动的)and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily.In a year's time, supposing no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds.By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.
