i used to exercise with the goal of losing weight, but over time, i've started to realize that there are lots of other reasons why exercise is really important and good for me (and everyone else). exercise is a way to help me get stronger, have better cardiovascular health, and improve my mood. exercise releases endorphins, which definitely improves my mental health and makes me feel better. beyond that, i'm a huge proponent of self-care. as much as i love face masks and massages, there are lots of acts of self-care that can be done on a regular basis (like exercise!) so, to sum up, exercise is great on a physiological level, for your mood and mental health, and because it's a way to take care of yourself and show your body that you love it (or are trying to get to that point)

Exercise is important for many different reasons! It could be for personal reasons, to keep healthy, or for work to keep fit and active. But most importantly, regardless of what you are exercising for, it is a key part to maintaining a healthy mind.

Exercise is very important because you need it to stay healthy, especially for your heart. Not exercising can ultimately lead to heart attacks and strokes. Not excercising also increases your risk of high blood pressure and diabetes.

There are so many benefits to exercise, both physical and emotional! In addition to increasing your muscle and making you stronger, exercise can help relieve stress, boost self esteem, and for me it makes a big difference for making my life feel more "put together". Although some people say it's boring, it doesn't have to be if you find the right way to implement it into your lifestyle, which is different for everyone.

I may assume you mean physical exercise. Exercise has proven to have numerous health benefits. We can first take a look at what happens if you don't exercise. You have a higher risk of getting heart disease, becoming obese, feeling breathlessness, having lack of energy, higher chance to get depressed, lack of mobility, lack of strength, lack of endurance, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and bad posture. Most of these can be easily managed and lower the risk with exercise. Exercise has also been proven to be more effective than some anti depressants. It's a great way to explore new things in life and gain a lot of health benefits, that can be very difficult to manage without exercise. It can also be a social thing, where you get to make new friends! Ofc a healthy life is non existent if everything else is screwed up, like sleep, sufficient diet and rest. But exercise still serves an important role in our lives. Humans are built to move, and with the growing of paasive jobs, exercise becomes even more important to consider in our daily lives! I don't think it's rational to play with your health and risk all of those things i listed, plus another page full of risks for no good reason. Ofc if you have some sort of disability or such, it can be more difficult, but there's always some way everyone can do physical exercise! You will thank yourself when you're a grandma/grandpa and still are able to walk and move, instead of sitting all day every day!
