I totally agree. I got back into exercise with the very specific goal of losing weight before I got married. I’d gained two stone, felt uncomfortable with how I looked and had no energy. Having lost half the weight I discovered a love for weights, spin and boxercise. I continued and lost the weight and have kept it off 15 years on as I now know what I enjoy and what works for me. Plus, we are seeing a rise in obesity related health issues across ALL age groups including children. Much as the Andy Ps of this world might not like it, exercise is a critical component in helping people both lose the weight and build a solid level of physical fitness. Without this the NHS will be even more swamped in 10-20 years time. We all agree that it needs to be a balanced approach but jeeez, half the people banging on about this message have hugely disordered relationships with exercise and food themselves (although some hide it better than others).
