Benefits of Exercise

A combined diet and exercise approach should be used to achieve weight loss. Exercise is essential for weight loss in order to burn calories, increase your lean muscle mass, increase your RMR, and to replace fat with muscle. The small weight loss from exercise can lead to multiple health benefits. Regular exercise decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Numerous studies have shown that regular physical activity is one of the best predictors of weight maintenance. Exercise is a key strategy for keeping weight off. Exercise helps you lose weight and maintain weight loss because it uses up excess calories that would otherwise be stored in your body as fat.

You already know you cannot sustain normal weight without regular exercise. If you are exercising and not losing weight, it is usually because you are consuming too many calories.
