Muscle Building: Exercise can help build metabolically active muscles. You’ll burn an extra 30 to 50 calories per pound of muscle gained just sitting still.
Burning up Calories: When you exercise, you burn calories and if you are doing strength training, calorie burning takes place long after your session has ended.
Stimulation of Muscle Building Hormones: Strength and resistance training increase your testosterone, estrogen and growth hormone levels. Your DHEA levels will be increased only by resistance training. Competitive sports and running will raise your testosterone levels. This is excellent for those suffering from declining hormone levels.
Stimulation of hormone levels which Aid Fat Loss: Thyroid, noradrenalin, growth hormone, leptin, dopamine and noradrenalin levels – all hormones which contribute to fat loss – are increased.
Exercise Promotes Appetite Control and the Reduction of Inflammation: Fat cell hormones such as leptin and adiponectin which control our appetite and inflammation are benefited by exercise.
Reduce the Enemies of Fat Loss: Many hormones in the body can interfere with fat loss, including excess estrogen and excess amounts of the stress hormone. By doing as simple an exercise as walking five times a week for 45 minutes, you will reduce excess estrogen and stress hormone levels.
Exercise will Promote Fat Burning and Insulin Balance: Regular exercise will help our fat metabolism and the sensitivity to insulin in the cells of our muscles.
Improved Mood: Exercise will boost your serotonin levels, decrease your anxiety and boost your mood thereby helping you to avoid depression.
As you can see, exercise just plain affects our hormone system and our heart and lungs.
