According to the American Heart Association, "A sedentary lifestyle is one of the 5 major risk factors (along with high blood pressure, abnormal values for blood lipids, smoking, and obesity) for cardiovascular disease."Not only does regular exercise help with both weight loss and blood pressure, but there is a direct effect on cholesterol as well: exercise actually reduces LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and can raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
Exercise helps lower cholesterol in three ways. The first and most obvious is weight loss: being overweight goes hand-in-hand with high LDL (bad) cholesterol and is thus a major cardiovascular risk factor. Exercise helps your body get rid of LDL cholesterol because exercise stimulates enzymes that help move LDL cholesterol out of the blood and into the liver, where it can get excreted. Finally, exercise also increases the size of the protein particles that carry cholesterol and the bigger the particles the less able they are to stick - and clog - arteries.
