Should you start exercising first, or start a new diet first?

Yes. :)

It depends on who you are, really.

Some people change diet first, which gives them more energy, and then start exercising.

Others start exercising first, which makes them want healthier food, and then switch their diet.

Either way, a new study from the American Heart Association says keeping your fitness up regardless of age is what counts if you want to avoid cardiovascular disease.

The researchers said “the long-term effect of fitness change, primarily resulting from increasing physical activity, is likely to be at least as important as weight loss for reducing premature mortality.”

In other words, if you’re exercising regularly but you can’t lose that last 10 pounds, don’t sweat it (no pun intended).

The interesting thing about this study is that it did not call for a dietary change, just exercise and resulting weight loss.

You’d have to assume that changing your diet AND increasing your exercise would generate much better results.

If the thousands of testimonies we receive are any indication, that assumption is correct.

We’d love to help you achieve a testimony of your own!

Whether you want to start exercising first or change your diet first, we can walk you through it!
