Obviously the number one reason to exercise as part of a weight control plan is that exercise burns calories. If you choose to weight train as your form of exercise, than another good reason would be that you are building muscle, which speeds up your metabolism.
Those should be reason enough to stick to your fitness routine but researchers at the University of Pittsburn have found another, more subtle reason why exercise helps you control your weight. They found that exercise also keeps you from over-eating.
The researchers studied 169 overweight adults for 2 years and found that those who exercised for less than 3 hours per week at more than their alotted 1,500 calories per day. The further found that those participants who over-ate chose to exercise less.
Study author John Jakcic, Ph.D concluded that both exercise and eating healthy serve as reminders to stay on track, which will help you accomplish your goals even faster!
