To reduce fat in your body you can do running or aerobic sport, while for building your muscle you can do weight lifting. Swimming is good for maximizing your lung capacity.

Actually the best sport to improve lung capacity is rowing on boats or in the gym on the machine. The second best option is basketball.

Hi Alechin, Rowing is good indeed but should be available. And basketball is also good and require a lot of strength for sure. :)

Jogging is great and no equipment is needed except for some good running shoes. Swimming is excellent if you live near a pool or body of water. Tennis is also great to shape the body. Any sport is good where you will be moving around a lot and remain physically active. Walking can even provide many health benefits. Try going up and down hills for the best workout during walking. Good luck getting into better shape! Best wishes. : )

Hey Bethany, that's very true and thanks a ton... Walking is a good option as it can be done easily. I will definately try my hands on tennis as it is one of my favorite sports. And water .. m not sure about it as I may get tanned by pool water :P

Depends on your age, and how physically active you are. For me, tennis was my favorite sport when I was younger. As I get older, I can't play tennis much any more. That's too fast for older people. So, I am just staying on jogging in the park in the evenings, after I get back home from work. That's very refreshing and keeps me physically and mentally active and healthy.

Have you tried Zumba? Is very fun, I love it! You can watch short routines in youtube. There are a lot of fun and easy routines you can make. I know you are going to love it! And trust me, you will burn a lot of calories. So, give it try!

Basketball is a very good option that would be my first bet. But it is difficult to play basketball if you are overweight. Other than that i would suggest cycling and inline skates. And i would consider adding a diet. Or at least control the amount of calories...
