It Doesn't: A new groundbreaking, excellent study done in tanzania with a hunter-gatherer tribe shows that exercise actually slows one's metabolism and while you still burn calories, they are far fewer than previously thought.

Burns Calories : The quantity of calories needed for weight loss varies for each individual. As a basic rule of thumb, weight loss occurs when your caloric expenditure exceeds your caloric intake. When exercising, your body is burning off calories consumed. For optimal weight loss, minimize intake and boost exercise. If other weight loss methods are of interest, visit doctorscotts.Com. Good luck!
