Article: Fitness scene should take a hike

[Neenee Jellybeanie]

Interesting article, but it's impossible for anyone to say "to lose weight you must do X amount of exercise" etc. It varies so much from person to person. I've lost weight doing far less than an hour of intense exercise! And there are a lot of people who wouldn't even lose weight doing that. So that makes me a bit skeptical about this whole study in the place tbh.

I have worked in the fitness industry and I think everyones bodies react differently to different types of exercise. I know that I gain fitness by regularly walking but I need to do more than that to lose weight.

I think its a great article. It's showing that you don't need to fork out mega-$$$ for a gym membership to get fit. And it's really saying that to lose weight you need to up the intensity - however is up to you.

If this encourages people to go for a walk every day, then I think that's doing a lot!
