Exercise can be beneficial in lots of ways, but exercising strenuously to use up calories will not help you to lose weight, because obesity is not caused by overeating/too many calories.
Obesity is caused by fluid retention. - To lose excess weight you need to lose some of the excess fluid from your body. This is most easily done by eating less salt/sodium and making sure that you eat plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables. As well as reducing your weight it will lower your blood pressure and improve your health in many other ways. - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html for associated health problems that will benefit from reducing fluid retention. Salt reduction is a safe, reliable, cost-free way to lose weight and it involves no drugs and no hunger.
Strenuous exercise when you are obese can be very harmful. It raises the blood pressure, which is very likely high already. You risk falls and knocks. You may feel self-conscious and embarrassed when exercising where anyone else can see you, and they may also add to your problems by insulting you or sneering. Strenuous exercise is likely to exhaust you and make you breathless and uncomfortably red (or redder!) in the face.
Exercise that may be worth your while to do is walking and a bit of stretching and a few gentle exercises that help to keep you as supple as possible and help to maintain as full a range of movement as possible so that you do not become disabled (or more disabled).
Since exercise is so enjoyable when you are NOT obese, the best course of action is to lose weight (i.e. reduce the fluid retention) first, and THEN take whatever exercise you favour. - You'll then get the benefits of exercise and not the disbenefits.
Lose weight by eating less salt! Go on! - Try it! - You will feel sooo much better!
