How exercise really helps you lose weight?

  The bad news: If you run, swim or ride a bike, you usually won't lose weight just by doing so. The good thing: When it comes to maintaining a lower weight after a diet, there is hardly anything as helpful as regular exercise. The calculation is simple: If you want to lose weight, you must not take in more energy than you use. Exercise has been proven to burn more calories than sitting, standing or lying down. So if you sweat often, you will lose weight over time. In practice, however, it is hardly possible for most of us to exercise enough to permanently lose more weight than we gain through eating.

During exercise, these number of strokes multiply, and then it becomes obvious that evolution has equipped us with an extremely durable body. However, this high-performance system has one disadvantage: it only works in the long term if it is repeatedly required. But in industrialized nations people have become sluggish - they save energy wherever they can. 100 years ago, a resident of the western world walked more than ten kilometers a day; now the distance covered is between 400 and 7...
