Do you have inflammatory arthritis, pain, or limited mobility? If you want to lose weight, you may feel like you're at a huge disadvantage.

While exercise helps maintain your metabolic rate during weight loss, it's not essential to lose weight. Dr. Jason Fung wrote in The Obesity Code, “Exercise is like brushing your teeth. It’s good for you and should be done everyday, just don't expect to lose any weight.” 

Exercise is one piece of the puzzle to lower insulin resistance. There are many other areas you can optimize first. Once you get some consistency and weight off, exercise will be easier.
