Whenever I exercise, I tend to gain weight. I know that when I was at my lowest weight, I didn't exercise at all. I was all bone, my muscle tissue was gone, and hospitalization and osteoporosis was the result.
Weight bearing exercise–such as walking, dancing, weight training, etc.–helps strengthen bones and muscle. Think about the density of muscle, that is why muscle weighs more than fat, but is looks much smaller in comparison. Also, 1 lb. of muscle burns approximately 50 calories per hour when one is just at rest; 1 lb. of fat burns about 10.
