However, any form of extra movement will burn calories. So, all you need to do is get active if you want to get rid of those extra pounds.

Because muscles consume more calories than fat. This means you will get a boost in metabolism even when you are at rest. This may not be automatic weight loss, but it's about as close as you can get.
