Berlin, Germany - July 11, 2016: Woman getting ready for her workout wearing a FITBIT as an activity tracker to control her heartrate.
A new study came up with a number the AVERAGE person should try to hit if they’re really overweight . . .
This isn’t for people who are already in decent shape. But researchers tracked 553,000 middle-aged adults who were obese. And they found that losing 13% of their body weight made a huge difference.
That isn’t exactly a small number.
USE MATH! For someone who’s 250 pounds, 13% is about 32 pounds.
If 13% sounds impossible, just start small. Other studies have shown that even losing 5% of your body weight makes a difference.
