    basically what everyone else has said. Exercising helps you retain muscle mass, regardless of how fat or skinny you are.

    There is no point if your only concern is how many calories you burn through exercise.

    Hi all

    MFP recommends eating back your exercise calories. If losing weight is about calories in and out, and you eat back what you burn - then in what way does exercise contribute to weight loss?

    it's like some people don't even want to survive the zombie apocalypse.

    Hi-Larious!

    Exercise, especially resistance training, improves nutrient partitioning, improves skeletal muscle retention/growth, increases bone density, and generally makes you look sexy, increases your badassery, and does all these very good things so you should do it.
