Why should I exercise?

At Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, an exercise plan for weight loss is a crucial part of your weight loss journey. Incorporating regular exercise into your routine is important for weight loss. Our weight loss program provides the weight loss resources and patient education you will need to succeed. 

Exercise helps with the following and much more:

• Regular exercise boosts your metabolism, making your body more efficient at burning calories—crucial for weight loss, reducing weight gain, and improving energy levels.

• Reduces the risk of, or help control: diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis (weak bones)

• Helps preserve lean muscle mass while promoting fat loss, ensuring a toned and sculpted physique as you shed pounds.

• Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins, the feel-good hormones, reducing stress and anxiety often associated with weight loss efforts, and improves your sleep.

• Along with good nutrition and healthy eating habits, exercise contributes to a holistic sense of well-being, fostering a positive mindset.

• Incorporating diverse exercises keeps things interesting and prevents plateaus. Whether it's cardio, strength training, or a mix, finding enjoyable activities ensures continual progress.
