Fitness Magazine recently published a counter-argument to the c ontroversial NY Times article suggesting that vigorous exercise can cause weight gain, or at the very least impede weight loss. Fitness Magazine’s t en reasons exercise makes you thin is an excellent list full of incentives for exercising regularly whether or not weight loss is a goal.
As an exercise physiologist and nutritionist a, I believe regular exercise and proper nutrition really are the keys to long term wellness. The caveat: you have to be consistent about practicing them – not just for a short-term goal like getting in shape for a 10K race or slimming down for a college reunion. Wellness is a life-long pursuit – definitely a marathon, not a sprint!
