What is the most effective workout for weight loss especially for obese people?
I am not asking for obvious answers such as they have to eat less or eat healthier.
I would like to know your opinion on the workout part, what and how obese people should work out.
Thanks

Anything that gets the person up and moving is helpful. It doesn’t have to be strenuous; studies have shown that even mild exercise (like walking) for as little as 15 minutes every other day has a measurable health benefit. Not as much of a benefit as more exercise would bring, of course, but we all have to start somewhere. Obese people may have trouble with their legs and feet that makes walking difficult. If this is the case, consider swimming, or an exercise bike with a comfy padded seat. Then, as the person gains endurance and exercise becomes easier, they can step up the duration, frequency, or intensity and see the benefits come even faster. Good luck!
