It's been proven, time and time again: eating healthy and exercising regularly will help you lose weight.
But, which exercises are the best to help you achieve weight loss success, while losing the weight safely?
Right off the bat, walking is the number-one exercise for weight loss. It doesn't require any equipment (other than a pair of walking shoes), and there's no need for a gym membership to do it.
