March Series: Importance of Exercising!

Some studies have shown that inactivity is a major factor in weight gain and obesity. To understand the effect of exercise on weight reduction, it is important to understand the relationship between exercise and energy expenditure.

Your body spends energy in three ways:

• digesting food

• exercising

• maintaining body functions like your heartbeat and breathing
  

While dieting, a reduced calorie intake will lower your metabolic rate, which can delay weight loss. On the contrary, regular exercise has been shown to increase your metabolic rate, which can burn more calories to

help you lose weight.

Additionally, studies have shown that combining aerobic exercise with resistance training can maximize fat loss and muscle mass maintenance, which is essential for keeping the weight off!

Summary

Exercise is crucial to supporting a healthy metabolism and burning more

calories per day. It also helps you maintain your muscle mass and weight

loss.
