• What you eat
• How fast your metabolism is - the faster it is, the more calories you burn off when you are just sitting around.
• How much extra energy you burn off during the day by doing things.

Think of it this way - the food that you eat provides you with energy (calories). Your normal metabolism burns calories every minute of the day by pumping blood around your body, digesting food, maintaining all of your muscles, etc. You then burn extra energy when you do something - like getting out of the chair, climbing the stairs, anything.

Then the equation is simple - if you use more calories than you consume, your body will get the extra energy it needs by raiding its fat stores, and you will lose weight.

If you get more calories each day from the food you eat than you use, your body will store the extra in the form of fat. You will put on weight.

So to lose weight you need to control any, or ideally all three, of the factors - what you eat, how fast your resting metabolism is, and how much exercise you do.

The best workout for weight loss therefore means dealing with:

• Your resting metabolism. Depending on what sort of workout you do, you can make a large difference to your resting metabolism. And this is great, as any increase causes your body to burn more calories every minute of every day, whether you are sleeping, watching TV, whatever.
• The amount of energy you burn off with extra activities. This could be as conventional as going for a run. Or it could be a series of little changes - like using the stairs at work instead of the lift. It may sound crazy but these little differences add up. A recent study found that people who just fidget all day in their office chairs use a lot more calories than those who sit still!

Of course, in addition to using the best workout, you need to have some control over your diet. But what sort of exercise you do is more important, and the benefit of toning up all those sexy muscles can give a great psychological boost. This is what really gives you the motivation to keep on going until you achieve your ‘perfect body’.
