Exercise to lose weight

It is possible to lose weight by following  a nutrition plan only but it takes longer than combining healthy eating with exercise and usually people get frustrated and give up.

A combination of cardiovascular training, eg running, swimming, rowing & walking or perhaps racket sports plus a strength training programme is the best method to burn the calories.

Bear in mind also that muscle burns more calories than fat - so you are burning more calories when you are watching TV if you have a reasonable percentage of muscle.  Also, don’t worry about bulking up, most people find it difficult to put on muscle and that certainly doesn’t happen overnight.
