Your Goal For Exercising Shouldn’t Be To Lose Weight
Instead, it should be for this other reason
For the longest time, exercising has always been associated with weight loss. When you see or hear about exercise, it’s mostly related to losing weight.
It was the same for me as I grew older.
From my mid-twenties onwards, I always associated exercising with losing weight (it was also at that time when I started to gain weight really easily) above anything else.
But when you exercise to lose weight, you’re focusing on the wrong reason as to what exercises are for in the first place — fitness.
While you can (and should) exercise as part of your weight-loss routine, it shouldn’t (and most likely won’t) be the only thing you do to get to that desired weight-goal of yours.
Because honestly, losing weight comes down to your diet more than anything else.
You can exercise all you want but if you don’t eat a good and balanced diet, you’re never going to see any difference on the scale.
It’s like you going to the gym and running on the treadmill for 30 minutes, only to go out and have a quarter-pounder cheese burger with a large fries and a soda on the side.
