That is not the end of the list, it goes on and on. The benefits are numerous to be overlooked. And yet look at this alarming statistics:

25% are completely sedentary (meaning no exercise).
This is the statistics in America where people are considered to be health conscious. Many countries record even worse numbers. In fact, the drawbacks of being sedentary and inactive can be really serious. You are doing yourself grave injustice if you do not exercise regularly.
