Exercise seems to be the overwhelming response when people ask for advice on how to lose weight. However, the "just get some exercise" mantra doesn't really pan out in the real world. Why is exercise not the reall "secret" to weight loss?
Exercise And It's Downfalls
How many times have you walked in the gym and seen the same people there over and over again? Well, there are two answers to this because you have your hard core gym rats that you see there all the time and then you see your sporatic members than might only get in once a week.
Now obviously, the sporatic people really aren't going to see results: that's a given. Yet, what about the people that are there all the time?
I'd guess maybe only 15% max actually know what they are doing. The rest of the people just seem to go through the motions and act like they'll get there "some day".
But some exercise is better than no exercise right?
Well, it depends on your point of view. You see, if you aren't seeing any results - and the people that don't really know what they are doing aren't seeing any results beyond the first couple of weeks of working out - then you could really make the case that they'd be just as well off sitting at home.
Of course this really isn't true but you get my point.
I'm sure you can see that exercise by itself really isn't the "secret" to weight loss. In fact, many people become very frustrated because they are putting in "all of this work" and nothing's happening.
It's a sad cycle.
