#63: NUTRITION - Exercise for Health vs Exercise for Fat Loss

In this episode I reveal why I have taken up jogging…… believe it or not the reason is not for fat loss! I discuss exercise beyond fat loss and why as a society we often overlook the "non sexy” health benefits that come with exercising and generally being more active. I also talk on how societal weight stigma has led us to be constantly striving for fat loss and how anything less is labelled as a failure. References for the studies discussed can be found at www.Martin-MacDonald.com/Ep63 TOPICS 01:02 - Why I have started jogging… 04:45 - What are the benefits of exercise beyond fat loss 07:00 - How societal weight stigma is manipulating our exercise goals

Welcome to Not Another Nutrition Podcast! This is not just another nutrition and fitness podcast; I will be discussing a wide variety of topics including business, careers, parenting and self-improvement, alongside plenty of discussion on a range of nutrition topics! I try to communicate in such a way that is easy for anyone to understand, and with more of a 'coffee shop chat' vibe than a lecture so don't expect it to be academic fact after fact!! You can also reach out to me on social media via @MartinNutrition and I keep most of my important links here: www.Martin-MacDonald.com/links
