I think it really sucks that not everyone has access to exercise. Some folks are injured or disabled, some are just too big, and some folks just don’t have anything enjoyable around them/the means.
If people had an outlet burn 500+ extra calories a day that they really enjoyed and had the time to do, we could make a very significant dent in obesity.
All I’m saying is that fitness ought to be fun.
Exercise is a smaller part of the weight loss puzzle than people tend to think. 500+ extra calories is a lot of exercise. But it can make life better in general, because endorphins are awesome.
Weight loss starts in the kitchen. And the human body isn’t designed to lose fat. It’s designed to store it for when it can’t get any food. So it will fight you tooth and nail (or more accurately fat cell and gut bacteria) to cling to the fat.
But it can make life better in general, because endorphins are awesome.
You’re supposed to get endorphins from exercise? I must have been doing it wrong.
I think you really only get an “endorphin rush” when you’re just starting with exercise and you over-exert yourself to pain levels.
