Following the article in the Times on Monday 19th October entitled ‘Exercise? A fat lot of good that is for weight loss’ (click here for full article), the David Stalker, COO of the Fitness Industry Association has written a response to the Times expressing concern that the story confuses and unnecessarily misleads people into the belief that exercise is not helpful in weight loss. The response may be useful to you, should this issue be raised by your clients....
FIA LETTER TO THE TIMES
Helen Rumbelow’s recent article on the role of exercise in the fight against obesity (‘Exercise? A fat lot of good that is if you want to lose weight’,19 0ctober) correctly outlines the health benefits of exercise in terms of reducing depression, heart disease, diabetes and a host of other lifestyle diseases, but it goes on to give credence to what many believe are misleading and distracting propositions which undermine the hard work of many parents, healthcare and exercise professionals.
Weight loss should not be the only measure of health and wellbeing. If it was the Holy Grail (as suggested by some researchers quoted in the article), then a severely underweight adult or child would be considered healthy. The truth is eating the right food and taking regular exercise should be that Holy Grail for every man, woman and child.
As a major contributor to the wellbeing debate and a successful Government delivery partner, we believe that it is erroneous to focus solely on either food/’calories in’ or exercise/’calories out’. Every organisation, with a sincere interest in trying to help address problems associated with our health time bomb, now agrees that the focus should be on promoting the benefits of an integrated strategy which addresses both sides of the wellbeing equation, not on spurious monochromatic observations on a complex multi- coloured issue.
Everyone deserves the right to be heard, but sometimes the white noise can be distracting.
