Making Up The Difference

It is said that for long term health and reduced chronic disease we should do 10,000 steps a day, and that for successful weight loss, we should do between 12,000 and 15,000 steps.

Based on my experience, 15,000 steps is roughly 500 calories, and most people won't accomplish this number of steps in a typical busy day. Now I can burn 500 calories in just over 30 minutes with cardio. Therefore, to make up the difference, I would suggest that each day you aim to do at least 30 minutes of cardio. 30 minutes is an amount of time most can squeeze into their schedule and baring in mind that you watch what you eat, will significantly help with weight loss.
