Does Exercise Work? Finally, The Truth Revealed!
It’s all over the internet lately – the question is ‘does exercise work’, and the answer seems to be a resounding ‘NO’. Exclamation mark.
I’m sure you’ve noticed (haven’t you?) that everywhere you turn, everywhere you look, there seems to be another trainer, health expert, or self-appointed guru popping up to tell you solemnly about the pitfalls of exercise.
extra! extra! exercise doesn’t work!
Just in case you’ve missed the hype news, let’s take a look at just a few of the devastations this seemingly healthy activity can cause –
- It causes a stress response!
- It can increase your lower body fat!
- It’ll ruin your posture!
- It’s aging!
- It’s robbing you of sleep, disrupting your body clock, and possibly even causing insulin resistance!
- Aerobic exercise in particular is a complete waste of time!
- Even if you are making smart exercise choices for health and fat loss you’re probably doing it wrong anyway!
- And let’s not even talk about the fact that you’re no doubt a lazy pig the rest of the day; all the while patting yourself on the back for having worked out!
when it comes to weight loss, does exercise work at all?
Well, apparently not.
According to this article by Time Magazine, even if you are somehow managing to forge ahead and feel good about yourself by working out regularly, you’re probably just self-medicating yourself fat again by loading the calories afterwards.
“In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,” says Eric Ravussin, chair in diabetes and metabolism at Louisiana State University and a prominent exercise researcher.
I mean seriously, why are you even bothering?
the facts on exercise and weight loss
does exercise work if the variables are right? heck yes!
but what about cardio and stress?
points to take home (or to the gym :))
- Scare tactics. If you have the motivation, determination and drive to set aside time to work out and challenge both body and mind, you deserve a massive pat on the back! All too many people whinge their life away, become unhealthier every year, and constantly blame someone else for their woes. You are doing something, and for that you deserve massive kudos, not fear and uncertainty.
- Insufficient facts. These studies saying (often categorically) that exercise is ‘bad for you’ remind me of so-called research stating that eating high protein is bad for you. Yet when you look behind the summary you see that the protein they were using was processed, or poor quality (not organic and grass-fed), or combined with a sedentary lifestyle and processed carbohydrates. Just because some people may reward themselves with too many treat foods or a weekend of sloth doesn’t inherently make exercise bad.
- Gives you an excuse not to work hard. It’s true that I don’t love endurance cardio or group fitness as your primary source of exercise. I believe results are about working smart as well as hard, and to me that means a foundation of strength training, with cardio based around circuits and intervals. The occasional endurance session or class is fine for variety or just if you love it. But don’t let anyone tell you that sweating is bad for you! The psychological benefits alone make it worthwhile in my opinion.
- Implies you will make poor food choices. This one just needs clarifying. Structuring your exercise program around low-intensity cardio will indeed make you crave carbohydrates. This comes down partly to education, and partly to choice. You can choose to be prepared and organised about what you will eat after training (and beyond), and you can also choose to educate yourself about the smartest workout methods for fat loss. But don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
does exercise work? well this certainly does!

10 Days of Live Soul Transmissions, to Help You Find and Follow the Messages Within
Day 1) Trust
Day 2) Certainty
Day 3) Self-Belief
Day 4) Empire Creation
Day 5) Your Deepest Message
Day 6) Following Soul Guidance in All Areas
Day 7) Faith vs Fear
Day 8) Accessing Flow, and Superflow
Day 9) Expanding Time
Day 10) Expanding Money
Every day will be a LIVE soul led transmission.
This will take place on Facebook video, held at a variety of times in order to account for varying time zones, and scheduled only once we have begun. Our daily soul transmissions will be guided from MY higher self and directed from and for YOURS, to help you find and FOLLOW the messages within. The messages of your spirit, your consciousness, of the who you’ve always been and yet have managed quite well to cover up a lot of the time.
This is about stripping away –
And getting back to the CORE.
We’ll dive day by day into the above mentioned areas –
And you’ll receive all content and bonuses to keep for life.
There will be daily spirit prompts which you’ll receive after each training.
And plenty of time opportunity connect with me throughout, receive transmissions direct to YOUR questions, and absorb more even than what comes through on the trainings, via the energy we’ll create in this collective!
It’s very rare for me to know in advance exactly what is coming through day to day.
I certainly don’t have the details of each day’s content. But I know that these areas have been on my heart to talk about, in particular around belief, around certainty, around living from FAITH.
We know that exactly what is meant to come through for you WILL, and then some. And that if you intend and allow for it to, it will change, most likely before we even begin, due to your energetic commitment, the direction of your LIFE!
Meaning: direct it back to absolute soul alignment.
*** NEVER Seen Before Bonus! ***
As part of this, I’ve been guided to offer a NEVER before seen bonus … one I feel super vulnerable about sharing!
It’s the exact journaling I did to allow the download of THIS offer through. How I allowed the idea to bubble up. You’ll see my doubt, uncertainty, annoyance. You’ll see what I discarded. How I went through the layers. And how I KNEW, this was the one.
I’ll ALSO add in copies (screenshots) of my conversation with my COO Ash, where I was talking through the idea and allowing it to come to life.
I want to show you the exact Idea to Launch process!
This bonus alone is EASILY worth the cost of this program, particularly when you hear the mindset side of it, in terms of STAYING THE COURSE and refusing to back away from my self until the idea showed up!
I refuse not to create!!
AND, when you register for EXPANSION today (and how could you not?!) you’ll also receive early access to the Pre-Work. This is ALSO never seen before, and brand new just for you – and it’s a guided meditation on remembrance, to help you connect back to deepest self and the most certain truth of your destiny, before we even begin.
Perfect priming, for when we expand RAPIDLY into all that is coming through in this work!
Of course I could now go on and on here, about what I could or should have charged for this, and what it’s actually going to be …
Or about all my accomplishments on line and off, with money, with purpose, with passion, with flow …
I think you know all this anyway. Even if you just me! Your soul feels what matters. And that’s ALL that matters.
But I will say this:
You’ve always known it’s supposed to be about ALL that is inside of you. That it’s meant to COME from a place of purpose, passion, and SUPER super flow. And that if you just.freaking.trusted, and showed up FULLY from that place, you’d be living in a different reality already.
THE ONE INSIDE OF YOU.
If that’s true for you right now, then LET’S GO CREATE THAT REALITY.
Right now
