[quote=Anonymous]I don't buy the idea that exercise has nothing to do with weight. Just the opposite. But, if exercising is just an excuse to eat more, well, clearly it will have little or no effect. But, if you eat the same amount today as you did yesterday and let's say that is 2000 calories, and then you burn 500 calories, you only got 1500 calories that day, as opposed to 2000. That may or may not be enough to make somebody lose weight, but exercising several times per week can certainly make you more toned and it does have the added benefit of releasing endorphin that might make you feel more positive about yourself and things in general. After all, for centuries only richest were fat, what we call exercise here, today, people used to call life. Imagine having to cut wheat with a scythe all day long?Haul and make bales of hay? How many hours a day would you have to run to burn off the same amount of calories as that farmer that worked dawn to dusk? I know just raking leaves in my huge backyard causes me incredibly sore arms, even though I do exercise. I also wanted to add that I know many women who are overweight and beautiful. [/quote]
