Of course you can. But it will take quite a bit of time and effort to lose fat. And to convert one pound of body fat into calories, it’s 3500 calories (kcal). So, to burn one pound of fat, you can do one of these exercises:

- Walk quite quickly for about 35 miles
- Take a swim for about 6 hours
- Go out and dance in a night club for 12 hours
- Play golf for 12 hours (carrying own clubs)
- Go out and jog for 29 miles

But you should at the same time monitor your food intake, so that it’s not more than you burn. I know. I know - it sounds hard!

Patience is vital when you’re trying to burn fat via exercise

The exercises above shows us that it takes considerable effort to lose weight, or if you like, lose fat. That gives us the information, that losing fat takes time. Not a week, not a month - but 3, 4 or even more months of daily exercise. And remember, muscle is denser than fat. You might look thinner, but your weight will stay the same. And don’t forget stretching for 5 minutes before and after exercise.
