You're probably eating to much. Often times people assume they're burning more calories than they really are, which may lead to overeating. Here is the estimated calorie burn for common activities based on a 140-pound woman.
Running (6mph) for 30 minutes = 320 calories burned
Lap Swimming for 30 minutes = 256 calories burned
Spinning/Cycling for 30 minutes = 225 calories burned
Walking (4mph) for 30 minutes = 160 calories burned
Yoga for 30 minutes = 80 calories burned
Remember that weight-loss is all about burning more calories than you consume. 1 pound of body weight is equal to 3,500 calories so a person who wants to lose 1 pound per week needs to create a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day (500 calories per day X 7 days per week = 3,500 calories). In order to achieve this, a person should implement a plan comprised of proper nutrition, resistance training and cardiovascular exercise.
