So many people associate exercise just with wanting to lose weight/tone up. Even more common is a New Years resolution to get healthy that only lasts a few week. These reasons are good but losing weight and getting healthy just touch the surface of what exercising everyday can do for you. Daily exercise offers soooo much more! 
For me it’s a healthy outlet to the everyday stresses of life. It helps me create personal goals to work towards plus it makes me feel beautiful and strong everyday! I hope after reading below you too will be finally convinced to add exercise into your daily schedule and STICK WITH IT making it a lifestyle!
Here are 20 benefits of exercising daily you probably did not think of…
