The powers of a steady fitness routine are impressive: regular exercise
can help you build stronger muscles, stave off chronic illnesses, and
make your clothes fit a whole lot better. But there's another benefit of
physical activity that deserves a shout-out: the way even moderate
amounts seem to shave years off your age, no matter how many birthdays
you've actually celebrated. Of course, you can't change your
chronological age, but exercise can improve your health to the point
where you look and feel younger than you are, says Frank Frisch, PhD,
director of kinesiology at Chapman University in Orange, Calif. Behold
the physical and mental effects a sweat session can have on your brain
and body. Just reading this list will motivate you to never blow off a
gym session again.
