A lot of people think that exercise is only for losing weight.
I have found through a life time of exercising that most people cannot exercise enough to lose unwanted pounds. My routine has included running 60 miles a week. I started running 5 miles a day five days a week at a 7 minute per mile pace. When I joined a track club, I started running 40 miles a week at the same pace. I did not lose any weight. Only when I started running 60 miles did the pounds start dropping off.
If you want to lose weight, most people who start from couch potato cannot burn 3500 calories a day necessary to equal a pound of excess weight. The purpose of exercise is to burn muscle so that the body can replentish the cells and remove inflammation. Then the body restores the dead cells with new cycotenes which make the body healthy.
Early man was used to walking ten miles a day to forage and hunt. Our body still needs that exercise. Early man did not store fat because he only ate natural food. He ate from some 30 plant varieties and killed fresh meat. Today we eat out of boxes, cans, and restaurants. Our body thinks we are starving it because it doesn’t recognize the ingredients and then encapsulates them in fat.
If you burn muscle every day and eat natural foods, you will become healthy, fit and happy. You will also get lean and buy smaller clothes if that is important to you.
