“Success is 20% Gym and 80% Diet”…
I’m sure you’ve heard this statement before.
It makes sense, right? Diet is the hard part, and exercise, well… that’s a no-brainer. BUT IS IT?
While your eating habits are of the UTMOST importance in realizing your fitness goals, we can’t ignore the importance of a sound, regular exercise program, that includes both resistance and endurance training, and its contributions to good health.
The irony we are facing today, in this current pandemic, is that obesity, diabetes and asthma are major risk factors for severe illness from COVID-19 – all conditions that can be made better with a consistent exercise regimen.
DIET combined with EXERCISE is better than either behavior alone, and drastically increases health benefits, including a reduction in risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and obesity. More so, increased muscle mass leads to long term weight maintenance, improved metabolism and efficient use of dietary protein.
THAT’S MY RANT FOR TODAY!
MORAL OF THE STORY –
(That will never get old!)
