Is exercise or nutrition more important?

I get asked this question a lot: Is exercise or nutrition more important for losing weight?

Here’s my answer: They are BOTH important!

I know… you’re shocked. Another gray area, and can’t you just get a black and white answer?  Nope. :)

Here’s the thing, though: if you ONLY CARE about what the scale says, nutrition wins.

If you care about:

• How Your Clothes Fit
• How Flabby You Look/Don’t Look
• Your Strength
• Level of Fitness
• Looking Younger
• The Amount of Body Fat vs. Muscle
• Moving Better
• Reducing Aches & Pains

Well, if you care about any of that, then you have to EXERCISE, and specifically, you have to use weights or some type of resistance training.

It’s like driving a car: what’s more important, the wheels or the engine? You’re at a standstill if you don’t have both.

Start lifting weights and eating better to get the results you want! (Pssst…we lift weights at Her Fitness.)
