Exercise

It doesn't matter.

Like you said, it'll look different at different points in your life, but Exercise has to be there because your body likes it.

Yeah.

It's ironic.

They did say psychotherapy aids in improving negative emotions and fosters sustained psychological resilience.

So physical activities like yoga and walking enhance endorphin release and cardiovascular health, which... synergistically improves emotional regulation my first thought was from Legally Blonde where she's like exercise gives you endorphins endorphins make you happy happy people just don't they're husbands but in all seriousness though I think that is the premise behind it that Exercise does give you endorphins, which can help to raise the mood.

And so with them saying exercise combined with psychotherapies could potentially help.

But I think it's all dependent on the person and, you know, the delivery and their circumstances and if they're able to get out.

Oh no.

You want me to exercise? That sounds hard.

It is not that hard.

We just need the words first.

You sweat.

It

means to exercise or to work out.

That is a long word.

Look, you know... medications for ADD or ADHD can affect appetite, right? There are other, it's not the medic, other, you know, other medications can also have a fat.

So, and other things, and other things is like, even when for side effects, you know, Exercise can help, you know, exercise movement can help with constipation, which is often a side effect of the medication of the GLP ones.

Yeah, the GLP one.

So yeah, you mentioned that in the

You want a greater heart lung capacity.

I think for so long, people look to exercise as if it will help them lose weight.

Exercise, I'm going to go burn off calories.

I'm going to go burn off that cake.

Big study dropped this week, Vinny.

Exercise plays a bigger role in weight maintenance than weight loss.

Their conclusion was that Exercise is more powerful after weight loss because it preserves muscle, improves insulin sensitivity, supports metabolic flexibility, regulates appetite and blood sugar, which all help keep fat from coming back.

But it does not appear in their giant meta study that exercise produces anything more than low to moderate weight loss.

I've always said, and you've heard me say it on this podcast a million times, folks, exercise is a poor way to try to lose weight.

And I've proved it by taking people who were paraplegics and quadriplegics and taking tons of weight off of them.

Over 100 pounds in a couple of cases.

Exercise is a poor way to lose weight.

When my clients start moving regularly, even if it's just walking, something shifts, the fuse gets a little longer, and the fog starts to lift.

The men who have it together tend to treat exercise almost like brushing their teeth.

It's just a regular part of life.

It's not some big event, and it's not a phase they're in because they got inspired by some website or watched a video on YouTube.

I was scared to apply, but I'm so happy that I did that.

And speaking of all this running marathon or half marathon experience, Training has been going really great.

I think the fact that, like, my boyfriend's training for the full has been really nice because we've been able to do some of our runs together, which is always really nice because, again, training for a half, training for a full, any sort of race can be really isolating and lonely.

And running is a very independent sport, but what's nice is you can do it independently.
