5 Benefits Of Physical Activity

I can list more than 5 benefits of physical activity, but this is a good place to start. Staying physically active and fit seems to be on the minds of everyone these days. I think most people hate the idea of exercise and dieting but realize that they have to do something in order to look the way they want to.

Some people are motivated to get fit by vanity, some people it's because of an ailment that causes them to react. Some are motivated by an attraction to someone and would like to get their attention.  Whatever the reason may be, we all have one.

So, why should we stay physically active?
