Ahhh, gotta love science.
The study shows it will take AT LEAST 60 minutes per day of working out for women to lose weight.
The study goes on to say that men can get away with less, but women have to hit 60 minutes or more.
Sucks being a girl!

The thing is, it's true!
If you do really low intensity workouts then it will take more than 60 minutes.
The study used walking and slow jogging for cardio, and machine workouts for strength training. This kind of workout usually takes enormous amounts of time invested to produce a result. (You already know this, at some point in your life you probably tried it.)
Well, fortunately for you, I've got a solution for you:
If you are jogging on the treadmill and doing machine workouts, it probably will take more than 60 minutes!
In fact, it would probably take forever!
It turns out *shock and awe* that you can actually burn more than twice or three times as much fat with better workouts, like kettlebell workouts or my Stubborn 7 workouts, for example, than the stupid workouts from the study.
On top of that, a good strength training program will increase your metabolism and change your shape… unlike the stupid workouts from the study.
There is a reason we do intense strength training – it works.
The Two Things You Need To Produce A Powerful Fat Loss Result:
1.) An intelligent strength training program.
These days, there are actually tons of great strength training programs out there. You could use Turbulence Training, Fit Yummy Mummy, or Truth About Abs. Those are three awesome programs that use short, high intensity strength training workouts and short burst cardio.
Get a program. Then do it.
2.) To keep a food journal, and journal how well you are following your eating program.
I'm a big fan of Spark People for an online food journal, but it doesn't matter which one you use, or if you just write it down in a planner.
Get a good diet program like The Diet Solution Program or Cheat Your Way Thin. Then follow it.
That's all you need.
Don't let the news try to complicate it for you.
Besides, you might just find that the news contradicts what it said last month:
