Also, when you feel fit, you feel more like doing things you like to do such as biking, gardening and dancing. Most importantly, when you stay active and fit, you burn up more calories and are able to exercise longer and harder without as much effort.

An additional benefit of fitness is how good it is for your lungs, heart, muscles, bones and joints. Staying fit also lowers your risk for diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure and some cancers. Also, becoming more fit may help you to handle stress better, sleep better and keep your brain healthy and sharp.
