Forr many of us, exercise is a quid-pro-quo contract we enter into with ourselves. Had a big blowout dinner? Better do a spin class the next day to work it off. Been for an early-morning run? That fry-up breakfast has got your name on it. Just played an hour’s five-a-side football? Sounds as if you’ve earned yourself a couple of guilt-free post-match beers. 


You can have your cake and eat it – so long as you burn it off afterwards. If the exercise equalises the excess, you shouldn’t put on weight or keel over from over-indulgence. That’s the theory, anyway, and it sounds like a vaguely healthy, sort-of-balanced and broadly logical one.
