178. Weight Loss Principles Every Runner Needs to Know Part 2: Exercise


Listen Later

Most people will agree that exercise should be included in any weight loss plan.

Unfortunately, most people think that exercise should be the ONLY component of their weight loss plan.

Eat less and move more, right?

Isn’t that the mantra that’s been forced upon us for several decades now?

How’s that actually working for you? Not great? Well, the good news is…you are not alone! It didn’t work for me either!

There’s more to losing weight than just exercising more and eating less.

I know that if you’re listening to this podcast you’re probably a runner and you think you’ve got the exercise thing down pat.

But running alone (or just running more) isn’t the answer when it comes to getting lean and strong and keeping the weight off for good.

So today, I’m going to lay out several exercise principles that every runner needs to know, especially if you want to lose weight and keep it off.

This is part two of a three-part series called, “Weight Loss Principles Every Runner Needs to Know”.

Part one focused on nutrition principles, and part three is all about the most important mindset principles you need to adopt in order to become your healthiest and most badass self.
