But the classic rule is that you diet to lose weight, you exercise to gain health.
If you're pretty overweight your first step is dieting. Maybe half hour brisk walks 3-6 times a week.
Time and again studies have shown that the average success rate in weight loss is much higher if they only start a diet program (with very light exercise), rather than trying to start both a new diet and a new exercise plan at the same time. It gives you just one thing to concentrate and expend willpower on at a time.
if you're a beginner and only a little overfat (say, no more than 20% for a male) you can get to a healthy lean (15-17%) by starting an exercise program (though freeweight training is better than running if your goal is good looks) and not over-eating during it.
