It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that exercise is one of the major components of improving one's quality of life, even if there are those who would rather have their posterior parked somewhere doing nothing. Perhaps you are among the millions of Americans (try 90% of all American adults) who do not exercise at least thrice a week, thus neglecting its benefits or being simply uninformed about how regular exercise can be a great help. Well, consider this fact:
An estimated 99.9 million American adults have total blood cholesterol values of 200 mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter) and higher, and of these about 34.5 million American adults have levels of 240 or above. To explain these seemingly boring numbers a bit, a high-risk individual would be somebody whose total cholesterol stat is 240 mg/dl or higher. Levels from 200 to 239 mg/dl are considered borderline-high risk.

So what is the use of all those numbers in corroborating the necessity of exercise in our lives? I mean come on, dude, there has to be something that can connect exercise with lower cholesterol, right? Can't we control high cholesterol levels with proper diet and/or medication? Think again.
In a study reported in the "Journal of the American Medical Association", 13,000 men and women were studied for eight years. Here is what the study had concluded following the consideration of all potential death risks in an individual:
According to the data thus analyzed, a man with poor physical fitness could reduce chances of dying from any disease by about 40% thereabouts, whereas a woman could reduce her mortality rate by about 50% or so. According to the summary thereof, exercise proved to be very effective in reducing cholesterol levels across the board AND reducing the risk of dying from heart disease and other serious, potentially fatal ailments.
In addition, the "Centers for Disease Control" released results from a study, thus concluding that men and women who do not exercise are twice as likely to develop heart disease compared to individuals who exercise.
One reliable study conducted at the University of California revealed that married men between the age of 35 and 65 who adapted a regimented exercise program copulated more often than men the same age who remained sedentary. (If that's not a good enough reason to don those jogging shorts and weight lifting gloves, what is!)
Our body has a lot of fats in its system, and cholesterol is just one of the many. Exercise can do a good job in burning the fat in our body, which is something that we should all be pretty aware of. So there you go - exercise DOES result in lower cholesterol levels for any individual. But really, what type of exercise is best in burning off fat? The long and short answer is; any kind of exercise! Even walking regularly has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels.

Of course limiting your intake of fatty cuts of meat and sticking to low-fat or even better, fat-free dairy products helps too. Of course, you want to eat fruits and vegetables, and lots of them (especially high-fiber fruits and veg) and engage in a moderate to mildly rigorous exercise regimen to give high cholesterol that much-needed heave-ho.
