Leg Exercise: Get Fit, Burn
Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning
Combined
Leg exercise workouts are
a reasonable way to improve fitness and burn stored fat. Leg exercise
burns calories and - if combined with a calorie-controlled diet - will
cause the body to burn fat - including stomach fat. In addition, Leg exercise
helps to develop the thigh and calf muscles, so you improve fitness and
reshape your body.
Leg Exercise Improves Fat Percentage
About 45 minutes of Leg
exercise burns about 158 calories. In one year, this daily workout burns
a total of 57,670 calories per year - about 16.5 pounds of stored body
fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percent - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.

body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like leg exercises) contributes to
improved health in several ways. It helps reduce abdominal fat, associated
with serious illness; it assists weight control, thus maintaining healthy
cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins
the happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further
increased by a healthy diet.
