Pick an exercise routine you can maintain so that you can stick with it seven days a week for the rest of your life. The best time for aerobic activity is before breakfast, so the body burns stored fat. In addition to this aerobic exercise install a 10-30 minute after lunch or dinner walk to your daily routine.
