Exercise prolongs life, reduces our risk of deadly diseases, makes us look fabulous and YOUNGER, allows us to eat more :), reduces our risk of osteoporosis and injuries, relieves depression, and gives us energy. AND YOU’RE STILL NOT EXERCISING? One more reason may hit you more where it hurts- in your wallet. In a study conducted by The Cooper Clinic in Dallas, a leading fitness innovator and research organization, 7000 men ages 20 to 80 were followed via medical tests and follow-ups for over 19 years. The study showed that fit men reduced their medical visits and medical bills by 46%! Even more interesting, men who were out of shape and then became fit through exercise lowered their chances of hospitilization by 42%. And this group achieved this phenomenal success by exercising only 30 minutes 3-5 days a week! Need more reasons to exercise? Being around long enough to see your children grow up is a good one too.
