Personally I exercise every day, and the more noticeable direct effects is I have an athletic physique when I don't prevent its visibility by eating too much shitty foods.
But there's a second-order effect of the exercise, since it's mostly calisthenics; when my weight goes up, my performance immediately deteriorates. That mental negative feedback usually corrects my eating misbehavior within a day. It's far more weight-affecting than the calories burned, by changing my eating.
The fact is though, generally speaking, you're not going to outrun a bad diet with exercise...
- Fricken 4y agoI've been a rock climber for 4 years, and likewise, I've been preoccupied with keeping it down and never let it get out of control. I never used to stand on the scale everyday, but now I do. Before I started climbing I burnt off 25 pounds that I accumulated up after I broke my leg and spent 2 years largely sedentary. I did it using high intensity interval training: sprinting stairs, over a period of 10 weeks. I took this approach not based on any study, or advice but because in the past, when doing HIIT with a healthy body weight, it was hard to maintain a diet good enough to keep up.
