I started to feel unwell and have major physical problems when I stopped exercising about a year ago. Walking each day several miles is good for the mind and heart. Lifting weights (nothing too heavy and go slowly) is also important for keeping our body in one piece. When I stopped doing the above, I didn't really gain much weight (less than 5 pounds) but my body shape changed so much you would have thought I gained 10-15 (I'm not very big so this is significant).
What is best about exercise is that it keeps me in the moment, the present. I don't need to be thinking about all the negative things that seem to cloud my mind if I am just sitting, and I am simply being nice to my body. That is why I recommend taking a slow but steady and daily pace.
Exercise is a really, really good thing...
