Exercise alone won't change your body.
This is probably one of the things you never want to hear. Many people believe that simply by exercising more, harder, or with some "magical" combination, they'll get rock hard abs, chiseled arms, and toned legs.
Sorry. Exercise will not change your body much at all unless you are also cutting calories. To really change your physique, you have to do both: watch your diet, consumer fewer calories than you burn, and exercise with a combination of cardio and strength training. Same goes for dieting. Cutting calories will result in some weight loss, but your body will not necessarily look more cut or toned if exercise isn't also part of your plan.
