- fit it into your schedule
- fit it into your budget
- make it taste good...
...the secret to adding exercise to your lifestyle is...

Weight loss, exercise: say them together
As a dietitian/nutritionist, I know from experience that most people interested in losing weight think first and foremost about diet and dieting. But as someone who has to work at keeping weight off myself, I know from experience that exercise is just as important as diet!
Get in the habit of thinking of exercise too when you think of losing weight. Weight loss, exercise...like peanut butter and jelly!
(It's not just me saying this. See what the government has to say about weight loss and exercise.)
