You Can't Out-Exercise a Bad Diet

This is such a true and accurate statement! We often think that just by exercising more we can offset the negative impact of some of our bad food choices can make. But this is often a losing battle because what might be shocking to some is that the average person does not burn that much more calories during exercise than versus simply sitting on the couch! This is because the more exercise we do, the more efficient our bodies get at burning calories. This means that we can't use working out or exercising as an excuse whenever we decide to overeat or eat very poor foods.

So keep this in mind whenever you are exercising and rather make your workout goals to become stronger, faster, or have an overall healthier heart and body. But strickly speaking about weight loss, finding ways to eat less is much more effective than exercising, but you should still do both!
