Full disclosure: I ve never been a big fan of exercise.
I mean, I want rock hard abs and toned arms as much as the next girl, but all the sweating and panting never seemed worth it. There s a reason it s called WORKing out, after all. So, for many years, my only form of exercise was the walk I took to and from my favorite lunch spot.

Enhanced energy, better sleep, less anxiety, and decreased risk of chronic illness (including stroke, diabetes, and cancer, to name a few) are all pretty good reasons to take on a regular routine.
