Image by kastner via FlickrLast October I wrote a post on this blog about my personal story of weight loss achieved through running. In that post I mentioned a controversial article that was published in Time Magazine in early August of 2009 that questioned the efficacy of exercising to lose weight ("Why Exercise Won't Make You Thin" by John Cloud). The essential premise of the article can be summed up by the final paragraph quoted below:
"In short it's what you eat not how hard you try to job it off that matters more in losing weight. You should exercise to improve your health except be warned: fiery spurts of brisk exercise could lead to weight gain. I love how exercise makes me feel but tomorrow I might skip the VersaClimber 鈥?and skip the blueberry bar that is my usual postexercise reward." Reading this article made me mad and not just since it was contrary to my own experience. I have seen many people who have made dramatic changes to their bodies and health by starting an exercise program and any article that makes even the slightest recommendation that people skip exercise is ridiculous and even borderline dangerous. My goal in this post is to supply examples of those who have used exercise love a tool to get healthy and if you are just beginning this journey yourself inspiration that if they can do it you can too.
Over the past year I've get a huge fan of the website dailymile - it has served as a phenomenal source of support motivation and most of all friendship. About a week ago the theme for the day was Before/After photos - people were posting "Before" pictures of themselves before they started exercising and "After" pictures to show how exercise has changed their health for the better. I have to say the pictures and stories that were posted were amazing and they reaffirmed to me more than ever the power of exercise to not only let people to lose weight but to in many cases contribute to a bodily transformation that is nothing short of astonishing. The pictures under are a sample of those posted on dailymile that day and I hope that looking at them will verify to you the positive benefits of exercise and a healthier lifestyle.
