Food is what fuels us and allows us to exist throughout the day: Without those 70 calories, simple daily activities like this wouldn’t even be possible. So to believe that those calories need to instantly and inherently be exercised away is harmful and downright untrue.
–> Exercise is not a punishment for eating food.
–> Calories do not instantly need to be negated by exercise.
Your body is going to continue burning calories and using up energy whether or not you do a thousand jumping jacks. Trying to “balance” out your caloric intake like this will doubtless lead to an abusive and unhealthy relationship with food. Please don’t think of calories as something bad or guilty - You need them. They’re here to help your body and support your activity, not serve as a shameful source of fitness motivation.
“
Exercise is not a punishment for eating food.”
It definitely feels like punishment or is taught like it is.
The most game-changing advice I’ve ever been given, that had to come from Guy Ritchie. Don’t be ruled by one’s ego. We all have an ego, and as soon as you let go of that ego, which allows you to be offended or upset by anyone, then everything is so much easier. It’s essentially like a weight off your shoulders. And it’s something which you’ve got to fight for every day.
