  • Mobilizes fat reserves. To make an effort, the body needs a fuel that is readily available. In most cases, these are carbohydrates. Once the carbohydrate reserves (used primarily) are exhausted, it begins to burn fat.
  • Increases energy combustion, even at rest. To stay in shape, muscle mass consumes a lot of energy even when it is not in action, contrary to fat mass which does not burn any of it at all.
  • Shape the silhouette. Muscles are heavy, but they take up little space. With a little movement, you can get a lean and elegant body, sculpted in the right places.
  • Control your appetite. By taking care of yourself - physically and mentally - and promoting the secretion of wellness hormones, doing sports allows you to limit eating compulsions and prevents you from nibbling.
  • Promotes good overall balance. Thanks to physical activity, the body is in shape, you feel good about yourself, and it shows.
