Several ways!: Exercise causes you to expend calories. If food intake is constant, you will run a caloric deficit. Also, apart from direct activity "burn, " your bodies metabolism will stay higher for several hours after activity, burning more calories at rest. If you put on muscle, your baseline metabolism will increase. Put these three together for the exercise weight loss recipe.
