&gt; move their fat bottoms<p>I wish people would stop repeating this myth.<p>You cannot outrun the fork.<p>Being overweight is primarily an eating issue, not an exercise issue. The calories burned while exercising are minuscule compared to food intake.<p>Daily recommended calorie intake averages ~2000 calories. I was going over that by ~1000 per day before adjusting my habits, and I don&#x27;t think I was unusual.<p>A marathon is estimated to burn 2600 calories. The hardest 30-minute CrossFit workouts burn ~300 calories. So every day I should have run 1&#x2F;3 of a marathon, or completed 3.3 max-effort CrossFit workouts.<p>You cannot outrun the fork. I&#x27;ve lost over 60 pounds in the last year by changing my eating habits. I started doing regular Freeletics (like CrossFit) 8 weeks ago, and actually stopped losing weight.
