What are some exercises for overweight people?

In: Exercise [Edit categories]

Answer:

Some great excercises for overweight people including jogging, running, lifting weights, and swimming. Jogging can burn up to the most calories for an overweight person due to the fact that a person burns more calories by being overweight since there is more weight which has to be moved. It also builds muscle in the legs which burns more calories per day than the same weight of fat. Lifting weights also adds muscle while burning a little fat adding to the weight loss and giving a great exercise at the same time.
