You read that right, because exercise burns much fewer calories than many people think. 30 minutes of easy running burns 350, but many people, fit and overweight, can't keep up "pace" of the training regimen. For visible results, you need to train four to five times a week at a heart rate of somewhere between 60 and 70 percent.
