We all know exercise is good for us.
Regular physical activity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, can lower people’s risk of a heart attack, colon cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as help with weight control, relieve arthritis pain and even reduce symptoms of depression. It can also cut down on visits to the hospital and doctor’s office, as well as the need for medications.

By the end of the day, the need for sleep tends to override any desire to get fit.
