Let’s talk about weight loss. Studies have demonstrated that exercise is not effective in weight loss. The impact is negligible. An exercise only regimen will result in little to no weight loss. In fact, you might even gain weight.

Don’t get me wrong, exercise has it benefits; increases metabolism, lowers BP and reduces cholesterol, decreases insulin resistance which ultimately lowers your risk for developing diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Exercise is good, but not for weight loss.
