Physical fitness is essential for good health, and is necessary if you are trying to lose weight. During exercise, the body burns stored calories as energy. At its very foundation, weight loss is equal to calories in < calories out. You must burn more calories each day than you consume in order to lose weight.
Based on this simple equation, it is possible to lose weight by reducing caloric intake alone, but aerobic exercise and strength training help to maintain weight and reduce risks of many health conditions.
Keeping up with routine exercise can be challenging when left on your own. Nicholson Clinic is your partner on your journey toward physical fitness and good health. We offer programs specifically designed for post-bariatric surgery patients. Please check facebook for dates and times.

Meet Crystal, Nicholson Clinic Patient, lost 94 lbs. with Gastric Sleeve
"I have lost 94 lbs currently. This took me from a size 22 pants to a size 8, 2XL shirts to a small/medium! I have done Zumba, for about 4 years total. I never felt confident enough to teach (much less physically capable of it). Once I had lost about 70 lbs, I became certified, and now have been teaching since last December. I am very grateful for this life changing experience!"
