Exercise

There are three types of exercise depending on your goals: Aerobic Exercise for cardiovascular fitness and weight loss, Strength Training for building muscle mass and maintaining bone density, and Flexibility Exercises for increasing and maintaining range of motion of joints.

Only aerobic exercise burns body fat! Anaerobic exercise only burns sugar. Fat and sugar are burned by muscle cells. Increasing your muscle mass by strength training will increase your capacity to burn body fat. Therefore you end up replacing fat cells with muscle cells. However, since muscle weighs more than fat at first your overall weight may not change but your lean body mass will increase. Increased muscle mass will also increase your basal metabolism increasing your body's ability to burn more calories when inactive.
