How long should we work out
every day to lose weight?

your workout routine?

is the most common mistake we all make. Rather one should stick to one
particular routine and follow that religiously to get desired results.

expectations kill most healthy lifestyles. According to Dehra, losing 10 kilos
a month is unhealthy as to reach that goal one will have to starve. Now this
