"Strength
Strength is not just for showing off in the weight room--it is essential as we get older. People who exercise regularly are far less likely to fall and break bones. This is because the exercise has made them stronger as well as given them better balance. Also, the larger muscle mass cushions the bones better and protects them if you should fall.
Body Fat
There's nothing more fundamental to losing body fat than exercise. Not, as many people think, because the exercise burns the fat off, but rather because muscle burns fat even while you sleep (60–70 percent of the energy your muscles burn, even while sleeping, is fat). The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Every pound of muscle that you have burns fat calories 24 hours a day. If you add four pounds of muscle to your body, every day you automatically burn an extra 200 calories or so, free of charge (plus another 200 calories from your exercise). Or to think of it another way, you get to burn off a scoop of Häagen-Dazs® ice cream every two days--while sleeping.
Biochemical Changes
Exercise produces 'happy' biochemicals called endorphins. Sometimes referred to as 'the runner's high,' these endorphins drive away stress and depression and stimulate the immune system. In addition, exercise increases levels of human growth hormone (HGH) in the body. Aerobic exercise can increase HGH levels by as much as 200 percent, while weight training can increase HGH levels an astounding 400–800 percent."
