We’ve all been told that exercise is important, but what are the reasons to exercise?
Many people do certainly seem to do OK without breaking a sweat, don’t they?
Well for how long I wonder? An interesting question, don’t you think? Of course, we all have busy lives and for many of us finding enough time to get out there and exercise is a real challenge.
The Truth
The truth is, really busy people find time to exercise! There is no excuse!
