I'm a person in which exercise DOES help a lot.  In essence, my cholesterol numbers inch up when I don't exercise and come back down when I do.  We've seen it on labs.  When my HDL is higher, I'm exercising and this improves my whole picture.

This is not the case for everyone though.  My husband's is not affected.
