The Importance of Nutrition in an Exercise Program

Nutrition in an Exercise Program

While working out is important something that is of equal importance is watching what you eat and when you eat. Our bodies need a certain amount of calories to maintain our day to day activities. In order to lose weight a person needs to take in less calories than is burnt through exercise and normal activity.

Running traditionally burns the most calories so if a person wants to take a couple pounds off, eat less calories and run.

It's as simple as that. It can be hard but the thing that makes it hard is to be able to be consistant with working out and taking in less calories.

Eating the right things at the right time is important as mentioned in the video clip. It's important to drink about 8 cups of water a day. That can be very hard but it is important because it flushes your system out of the bad toxins that are harmful. Stop drinking sodas as they are bad for you due to the excess sugars contained in the soft drinks.

Hopefully this will help people start to eat better and give them another reason to go work out. If you eat better and combine it with excersize the weight will come off and you will begin to feel better.
