Table 1.

Expected initial weight loss and possibly of producing clinically significant weight loss from different modalities of exercise training

Modality	Weight Loss	Clinically significant weight loss
Pedometer-based step goal	Range: 0 to 1 kg of weight loss	Unlikely
Aerobic Exercise Training only	Range: 0 to 2kg of weight loss	Possible, but only with extremely high exercise volumes
Resistance Training only	None	Unlikely
Aerobic and Resistance training only	Range: 0 to 2kg of weight loss	Possible, but only with extremely high volumes of aerobic exercise training
Caloric restriction combined with aerobic exercise training	Range: −9 kg to −13 kg	Possible
