Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Exercise

Many people complain of gaining weight despite daily exercise. How does this occur? There may be various reasons of gaining weight even when doing exercises in daily routine.

The most common reason for weight gain is simply more calories consumption than calories being burned. Exercise will not help you lose weight if you do not change you eating habits. You assume that just because you are exercising you will automatically lose weight. But even if you do several hours of vigorous exercise everyday, and eat more than you burn, you will still gain weight.

You believe that whatever excess calories you eat today you will be able to burn tomorrow by doing more exercise than normal. You cheat yourselves by not giving your all when you exercise. You spend a lot of time in a gym but most of the minutes are spent socializing. Many times you work out at very low intensities when you are capable of burning more calories. So the frequency and duration of your workouts is appropriate but the intensity is sorely lacking. Many time you think you are exercising regularly when in reality your workout attendance is few and far in between.

It is possible to become smaller in measurements but gain weight on the scale because you are losing fat and gaining muscle. This happens especially when you do weight training. But some people are so weight conscious that even if they lose inches, they are not happy because they weigh a few pounds more than others. You need an attitude adjustment: otherwise, you may quit exercising, thinking it is not worth it when you are really on the right track.
