exercise helps me because when my muscles aren't scared, my bones don't want to be evicted from my body so desperately! ^-^ ❤

Exercise helps me to de-stress, acts as a mood booster, helps me to maintain a healthy weight, is an energizing activity, and helps to strengthen me overall.

Particularly, I enjoy inline skating, biking, dancing, and strength training.

It is also enjoyable to swim outside when the weather is warm here.

Exercise so good for all of the reasons you mentioned! Love those endorphins! I also enjoy many of the activities you listed, but me on skates...that's just a comedy show for everyone else! But laughter is good for your health, too! Keep doing all those wonderful things for yourself...hugs! :)

In the last 5 years or so short term it's actually pretty hard on me. I don't find it energizing, it wipes me out and I often feel fairly sick after. I enjoy actually doing it but I wish I didn't feel so horrible the rest of the day and sometimes the next though. I have triggered throat swells from exercise.

Long term it certainly helps. It has improved my endurance and strength. It allows me to do more in general without triggering a hereditary angioedema attack.

Exercise helps me to decrease and maintain weight loss....... Personally I like things that are 'FUN" and "Don't " Feel like exercise!..

FOR ME, ....I like any type of Dance Fitness, mainly ZUMBA Fitness, but I like to learn other dances as well. For me, Zumba releases stress, helps me forget about my emotional issues for an Hour, and helps me to burn amazing calories and get in a TON of steps!

Next up would be "Swimming"... I love being near and around bodies of water.... The Pool, the Ocean, the Lake.... But I love to swim and do exercises in the water. Its calming, relaxing, and a great way to workout which doesn't place any type of stress on the body or joints.

Last, I just try to stay ahead on age related issues as we get older. And exercise and eating right are at the top of that.

Exercise helps me know I have less of a chance of being trapped in my body later from the various detriments not exercising can create (obesity, falls, injuries due to weakened muscles, chronic back pain, pinched nerves, heart disease and stroke, etc.).

Exercise helps me because I feel that I acumulate a lot of negative energy and it's an amazing way to get rid of it, it also brings me out of the house and allows me be in contact with nature (I live in a huge polluted city, so this is a big deal), overall it makes me feel that my body is strong and capable of anything :)
