Exercise, Weight Loss and Health

By Jeremy Gentles

One of the most common benefits we often associate with exercise is weight loss. That said, people often get frustrated with the weight loss they achieve from an exercise program. So what's the problem here? Do people generally not exercise enough to experience significant weight loss? Do most people just not know how to exercise properly? Does ones diet often prevent weight loss with an exercise program? Or, are the weight loss benefits of exercise frequently misrepresented?

There are a couple of interesting articles dealing with this issue that you can find in the Exercise and Fitness Forum. 

The first article is, At Goal - No Quick Fitness Fix, by Dr. Terry Simpson. Dr. Simpson discusses the impact exercise has on weight loss in comparison to and in conjunction with proper caloric constriction. 

The second article, Have You Misplaced Your Focus?, written by yours truly, further discusses what you can and can't achieve with exercise and how to properly set goals for success.

In a time where so many folks are out to make a quick buck at your expense, trying to sell you all the latest weight loss and exercise quackery, it pays to know what works, what doesn't and what you can honestly expect to accomplish with a well rounded exercise and nutrition regiment.
