What is the Weight Watchers philosophy on exercising?
Weight Watchers recommendations about the types and amount of physical activity to be included are consistent with those of the scientific community. You are encouraged to reduce sedentary behavior and progressively increase activity. Based on a proprietary formula that includes body weight and duration and intensity of exercise, all types of physical activity can be assigned a POINTS value. A POINTSbooster® slide tool calculates activity POINTS values independently. There is guidance on how to move more, a firming and toning guide, and advice on how to add more activity when you’re ready to do so.
