Resting metabolic rate is the biggest component of your metabolism but not the only one. Thermic effect of exercise makes up about 30% of the calories you burn every day. This 30% includes structured exercise, daily workouts and all the other movements you do throughout the day.
Endurance exercise is also the best way to protect the body's metabolism from the effects of age. It reduces body fat, sensitizes the body's tissues to insulin, and lowers blood sugar levels. Exercise boosts the HDL (good) cholesterol and lowers levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides.
