Fat kids? Diet or exercise?

A recent long term study of fat children established that even with an exercise program,  our younger and tubbier generation lost only grams of weight over a period many years.

This possibly goes to show how confused (or stupid and negligent) parents of fat children are.

The confusion is understandable – the media has absolutely no idea how to lose body fat.

OR it could mean that the exercise they had the children perform was rejokeulous as a form of exercise – jogging is not exercise by the way, it is an activity but make no mistake it is simply not challenging enough to demand a positive adaptation from the system.

For an activity to become an exercise it must meet certain criteria;

Specificity to a predetermined goal

Progressive

Bespoke, not one size fits all

Challenging to your body, not just your mind

If you can’t say this of your current routine then it is not an exercise routine – it is simply activity.

Set a goal and go for it – don’t just spin your wheels and waste your precious time.

Everyone at Epsom Personal Training has a goal even if they know it or not – do you?
