Don't Rely On Exercise For Weight Loss If You're Unfit And Out Of Shape

If you're unfit, out of shape, and looking to lose weight, your focus should not be on exercise.

Why?

When people have higher BMI's and lower levels of fitness, they will not be able to train at levels that will create a significant calorie deficit to lose weight.

You've been sedentary for long periods of time so you don't have the fitness levels to train hard enough to burn significant calories and lose weight.

Yet this is what I see busy, tired, stressed-out people do every time they try to lose weight.

They think they can add hours of exercise on top of being a parent, business owner, carer, taxi driver, dinner maker, socialiser etc.

It just doesn't happen and there's a reason most weight management programs that prescribe physical activity for weight loss have high dropouts.

What should I do instead John?

If I was tired, working long hours, and unfit, I would focus more on food.

• I'd make some simple changes to the most obvious high-calorie options in my diet to reduce calories and lose weight.
• I would pick exercises that I enjoy and I would focus on seeing every type of movement as something that counts.
• I would train 2-3 times per week at most to build up my fitness and prepare for harder training down the line.

Unfortunately, most of you get it backward. You think exercise is the thing you need for weight loss but it's food.

Stop spending hours in the gym when you're already tired and stressed.

You might disagree but I see this every week and after 20 years of coaching people, I can say without a doubt that the ones who succeed are the ones who build up their intensity over time but focus on the food first.
