Effects of moderate-intensity combination exercise on increase adiponectin levels, muscle mass, and decrease fat mass in obese women

Randomized Controlled Trial

Human

This study found that obese young women who did 4 weeks of moderate exercise (like walking and lifting weights) lost about 3.6 kg of fat, while those who didn’t exercise actually gained a little fat. So yes, the exercise worked as claimed.
