Exercise is a terrible way to lose weight.

You have to exercise a lot to achieve a small amount of weight loss.

So if you're trying to lose one pound per week,

takes about 4,000 calories of an energy deficit,

you would have to burn 4,000 calories through exercise,

which would be the equivalent of like jogging 40 miles throughout the week slowly.

So jogging like six miles a day every single day in order

to burn enough calories if you don't change your eating to lose a pound of body fat a week.

Welcome to the Nutrition Science Podcast, where we help you cut through the noise

and make informed science-based decisions about nutrition and your health.

Welcome back to another episode of the Nutrition Science Podcast.

I'm your host, Dr. Adrian Chavez, and in this episode, we are going to discuss how to build

a simple and effective exercise routine.

So the first thing I'm going to discuss in this episode is why exercise is so important.

Because I think most people are exercising for all of the wrong reasons.

And that's the reason that you're not getting the results that you want in many cases

is because you're not really going into it with the right strategy and the right intentions.

And then we're going to discuss the components of an effective exercise routine.

And then what that actually

looks like in practice. Before we get into the episode, I want to announce the winners of the

Free Legion supplement. I've already reached out to you through email, but Carol and Melly are

the ones that were randomly chosen. Thank you all for those of you who submitted reviews and sent me emails. I really appreciate it.
