Disease prevention: Exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes and even more serious diseases.

Reduce the risk of falling: When you exercise regularly, you are less likely to fall. If you really fall, regular exercise can reduce the risk of serious injury.

Relieve stress: Exercise is a good way to relieve stress, and regular exercise can help you relieve tension.
