How to Cure Acid Reflux with Simple Exercise: An Anecdotal Study (nlm.nih.gov)
A novel exercise is described for resistance training of the lower esophageal sphincter. Resistance is provided by gravity as food is swallowed and pushed up an incline into the stomach. The incline is established by kneeling with the head bowed lower than the stomach. After several months of daily repetitions, symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux ceased and the exercise was discontinued without relapse.

Exercise Paradox (wikipedia.org)
The exercise paradox,[1] also known as the workout paradox,[2] refers to the finding that physical activity, while essential for maintaining overall health, does not necessarily lead to significant weight loss or increased calorie expenditure.[3] This paradox challenges the common belief that more exercise equates to more calories burned and consequently, more weight loss.[4]
