How Exercise Boosts Metabolism All Day Long
I'm sure you've heard that muscle burns more calories than fat, and this is what it means: After an intense workout:
  1. Your body enters a state called Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC), also known as the afterburn effect.
  2. During EPOC, your body burns more calories than usual to replenish oxygen stores and repair those sore muscles you earn
  3. This translates to burning more calories, even at rest!

Outsmart Your Hunger Pangs Before They Start
Resistance training makes your body crave protein and other essential nutrients to rebuild muscle fibers. Because you are filling up on nutrient dense foods, it’s easier to skip sugary & processed snacks! Regular cardio workouts boost your natural energy levels throughout the day. This keeps your blood sugar levels stable leaving you with less need to reach for quick sugar fixes to keep going.

Exercise-Induced Endorphins for a Happiness Boost
Reaching for the comfort of junk food after a long day? Working out releases endorphins - chemicals that leave you feeling happy and positive. They help you manage stressful situations and reduce your reliance on food for emotional comfort. The beauty of exercise for mental health is that even everyday activities like walking, gardening, or brisk housework count as exercise.

Exercise is The Key to Long Term Weight Loss
Maintaining weight loss is often easier than achieving it in the first place. While a drop in scale numbers is largely determined by diet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that "the only way to maintain weight loss is to engage in regular physical activity."

Whether you're into weightlifting for muscle building and EPOC benefits, or prefer cardio for a natural energy boost and reduced cravings, there's an exercise routine out there for everyone. Remember, even small daily activities contribute to long-term weight management.
