Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Yes, it is possible to exercise and not lose weight. This can happen if your caloric intake matches or exceeds the calories burned during exercise. To maintain your weight while exercising, focus on creating a balanced routine that includes strength training, cardio, and flexibility exercises. Additionally, prioritize healthy eating habits and listen to your body’s hunger cues. Remember, the goal of exercise should also include improving overall health and fitness, not just weight loss.

It is possible if the amount of energy output is lesser than the amount of food consumption, if this is continued, it could lead to weight gain but for maintaining, that would mean that the energy input and output should be the same. Mainly doing bodyweight exercises and nothing too strenuous for 2-3 times a week.
